Orchid folks tend to be kind-hearted. Folks lose plants to a freeze, and we donate. We do more than that, too.
When a coworker lost his son in Iraq a few years ago, the online orchid community donated over $1300 toward the support of his widow and young son. Now I'm coming to you again to support someone else in need.
Gregg Bittner is a homebuilder by trade, and a generous one, to boot. One time, when a woman's husband died, he completed the construction of their home at no charge, even though he had not gotten all of the contracted price.
Unfortunately, he is debilitated by multiple sclerosis, compounded by long-undiagnosed Lyme disease. He is confined to a wheelchair, has lost his business, savings, and the equity in his home trying to pay medical bills.
Local suppliers and contractors, knowing how generous Gregg has been his whole life, are donating materials and time to building an accessible home for Gregg, his wife Sherri, and their family. More cash is needed, and that's where I come in, with my hat in my hand.

WEB STORE.
Thanks in advance.
