As many of you know, on Sept. 27th, we experienced significant damage to our newly purchased building. As a contingency of the sale, our roof was being redone. This coincided with record rainfall and a torrential storm. We now face a hefty bill to rebuild after the water damage. We are grateful for the way that the community has shown up to support and to check on us. We said that we would be calling on you all, and that time is now. The cost to rebuild is upwards of $250k. Every penny counts toward that goal, as we would like to be in our building just after the new year.

Many of you have also offered to help us by providing labor. We are beginning to organize folks who may be able to provide in-kind services, supplies, or shear muscle. If you believe that you can support us with any services or physical support, please complete the form below, and we will reach out to you. Our needs are vast. They include drywall repairs, electrician support, wall removal, flooring, and paint, to name a few.

Like so many challenging times in life, we are doubly humbled. First, we are humbled by the combination of Mother Nature and human error. Second, we are humbled by the outpouring of love and support that the community has and continues to show. Tlazocamati! Thank you!
