Wow has this been the journey!!

So a few things to convey. First we would like to apologize for the length of time this has taken. There was no way I would believe how such a small fire could do so much damage.
during the demolition phase they came across asbestos in the walls.
Not uncommon in old homes. The test took 2 weeks to yield results. so all work had to stop in those 2 weeks.

We are making great progress in cleaning out the shop, and we have been planning many new things to beautify the place and make it more comfortable to walk around. New walls, carpets, displays. its really going to be great once we get past all this renovation.

Which brings me to my next piece of information, all this fun will have to build in anticipation for a little bit. So many contractors doing their fields of electricity, and plumbing, floors yada yada, is going to put us in the December 5th time frame to reopen.

I know I know, I am just as eager as you to get this rolling again.
I know you are all having Secret Garden withdraws and need supplies.
If you can hang tight just a little longer!!! I am working tirelessly to get all the product moved and cleaned, but i cannot make the contractors do this Huge job any faster.
So I will be uploading some demo photos to show you the extent of what has been done thus far. Its so unreal to see everything ripped up they way it has. so many memories.

We look forward to these changes, The Secret Garden deserves this change not only for itself, but for Everyone!!!

We love you all so much and cant wait to see you all again.

Donna, Connie, Dave

Hi everyone!! We hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!! Please stay safe and enjoy the fireworks!!!

Connie and Donna are being well taken care of, we are working hard to get everything rolling, but with the holiday we are forced to wait until the fire inspector and insurance are ready to help. So we are at their mercy right now.
I just thought I would give you a heads up on our progress.

We would like to thank everyone who has made donations and dropped off clothing for Donna and Connie. You all are just too sweet!!! Thank you with every bit of our hearts!!

Dave will be speaking with TMJ4 tomorrow at 9am talking about what happened. We will let you know the air date.

Have a beautiful blessed weekend!!!

A kitchen fire has shaken the home and heart of our family—and we’re… Gloria Witt needs your support for Help Restore the Heart Family Fire House and Business

Well upon further investigation, we will officially be closed for at least the next 2 weeks maybe more.
Our wonderful HVAC unit spread the soot throughout the entire house and business side. Mom and grandma are relocating to a hotel for this time. So this turned out to he very much bigger problem than what it looks like at surface level.

We will be setting up a Go Fund me to pay for the girls hotel until their space is livable again until insurance kicks in. We will be enacting both insurance policies from the business and home side.
Do anything you can do to help would be amazing. I'll also post my cash app if you would like to donate there as well. The girls need new clothes to rest in since all their clothes are covered in toxic soot. Ugh what a mess. Thank you for any help.

Please blow this post up if you can, I'm not the greatest when it comes to asking for help.

Donations to Cash App: $Gemwrapper

I'm talking with Gloria Witt who will be setting up the Go Fund Me. She will post that info here as well.

Again thank you for any kind of help. Ww will keep everyone posted.

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to give you a heads up before coming in today. We had a fire in our kitchen area that started around 3:30pm while my mom and grandma were at a doctor appointment yesterday until 6pm. Zoey and the bird are fine, both taken to the vet last night. Everything in the house has a soot film. Mostly in the kitchen but the furnace fan was on and spread it throughout the house. The damages are mostly in the kitchen, however there is a strong melted plastic smell we are trying to air out. So everyones ok is the main part. Fire inspectors came and made sure things are safe. Now cleanup begins!!! Thanks be to God our beloved source for not taking the home.

We are open today, so we can pay this 1000.00 deductible to open a claim.

Just know all shirts and tapestry have to be washed before we will sell them.
And air quality may be a factor for people who may be sensitive.

Thanks for listening!!! I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Love and Light ~Secret Garden Staff~
