UPDATE: Gold Star Wife Fundraiser for Small Business

Back in December, I posted about Torri Kuhse, the wife of a fallen Air Force MSgt, and how she was starting a business and needed help. She had started a small floral business and needed a large cooler for all of her arrangements.

Well, I am happy to report, she reached her goal, the cooler has been delivered, and it's been filled with a constant rotation of arrangements!

Thank you to ALL that donated to this Gold Star wife! Every little bit helped and her small business is thriving!!!


/////Background from Previous Post////

In 2015 while I was in Afghanistan, I was unfortunately part of a rescue operation for a helicopter that had crashed with 9 service members onboard. Even though we were able to extract all personnel onboard, 5 of the passengers didn't make it. One of those that was killed was Air Force MSgt Gregory Kuhse. MSgt Kuhse (38 at the time) had a wife, Torri, and 4 kids (Madeline -20, Eliana -12, Tristan -7, and Caleb -5). This is the absolute sweetest family on Earth!

Today, MSgt Kuhse's wife, Torri, is attempting to start a small floral business. This single mother is funding it with her own money, but is also looking for some help with start-up costs.

I hate asking people for favors, especially around the holidays, but if you would like, please donate to this American family that has given up a huge piece of their lives for all of us. Even if it's $5! If anyone can find success in a small business, it's Torri, and she deserves the opportunity to have everything she needs to make it happen.

I appreciated her updates as she approached her goal.

She wasn’t the typical recipient of “go-fund-me” funds, she kept her donors in the loop on her progress toward her goal. Her reports showed joy at every milestone. Thanks for sharing this need, partner!

Hopefully she got the cooler fully stocked for Valentines Day.

Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.
