Check Out My Latest Campaign Update

As our first update to Yumi and Taka’s transition to a new chapter in their life, we’d like to forward a thank you note written by Yumi to accompany the photographs taken during their move from their original location of Matsuri Shushi. About 20 friends came to help them move. In about 3 hours the entire restaurant was packed up and loaded into a storage locker provided by the City of Lyons.

We thank you...Oh gosh...just thinking about all of these nice people in our life who want to help us in our most difficult time of life just making me (just Yumi, but many times Taka almost broke down and cried, too, but with JOY!) cry so hard again...we just cannot believe how much love and support we are receiving from all the Lyons people (oh except one person) and the beautiful community. When we moved our personal things from the restaurant on Saturday and throughout this whole thing, many people told us "We will support you no matter where you are." "Let us help you unpack and decorate your new place." "We will find you no matter where you are!" .... This is the nicest thing we have never heard...that is LYONS and our beautiful friends!!! We don’t know how to express our gratitude to all these people who showed up all of the sudden to help us move out our things and then disappeared like they did nothing...we just couldn’t believe how beautiful you are. We just love you all so much and we will miss you...but we will support you in anyway we can when we reopen...we are thinking and smiling about reopening someday and having a "Lyons appreciation week" and donate back to Lyons or something we can do...we are family!!! Love you guys!!!

Help me reach my campaign goal on #Fundly! You can donate as much or little as you want. Check it out: http://fundly.com/taka-and-yumi-s-flood-recovery
