According to Facebook and a Gofundme page a local aquarium store is facing a large financial loss because of the recent cold snap. Just like the community rallied around Godfather’s Pizza recently, here is another chance to help another small business in our community.
This is verbatim what the Gofundme post says:
“Jerry and Daphne have been pillars of the Cheyenne, WY community, running our local freshwater fish and aquarium store with dedication and heart. Their shop is more than just a place to buy fish and supplies—it’s a hub for learning, support, and connection for everyone who loves aquariums in our area. Their customer service and knowledge are unmatched, and they always go the extra mile to help their neighbors.
Recently, the store faced an unexpected crisis. After moving to a new location, a severe cold snap hit our area. The combination of humidity from the aquariums and the extreme cold above the drop ceiling caused the steel cable supports to snap, leading to a sudden ceiling collapse. The damages were significant, creating a huge setback for a small business that means so much to our community. With minimal local options for aquarium supplies and expertise, losing this store would be a big loss for Cheyenne.
We’re coming together to help Jerry and Daphne recover from this massive financial burden. Every donation will go directly toward repairs and restoring the store, so they can keep their doors open and continue serving our community. Please consider supporting this vital local business—your help will make a real difference!”
