Hurricane Beryl has hurt the business. We need your help.
Jul 12, 2024
As some are aware, we are located in the Houston area. On Monday morning, July 8th, we were hit with Hurricane Beryl, and were left without power until Thursday late into the evening. Nearly 4 days of 100 degree days, heavily humid with random rainfall, has unfortunately caused some issues with some of our supplies.
I won't go into details, but the damage seems to be just north of $1,000 in business related supplies (if we tack on my food that was lost it'll be another $100 probably). I'm going to be looking to see if things are salvageable, or if some things are just my imagination, but it's just cope on The Teaman's part at this point.
This was looking to be a rough month BEFORE the Hurricane hit. Now with this, it's borderline existential. I'll be looking at insurance and other means to cover costs (which seems highly unlikely at this point), but in the meantime I'm going to have to unfortunately E-beg in front of everyone. We have a donation page for any direct donations, or if you don't wish to do donations everything is still on sale, maybe buy an extra bag of tea next purchase, or try something new out.
to at least give some positive news for our future, assuming we get out of this mess in one piece, lots of good things are coming our way in October, which will see a lot more stability for the business, which in turn means we'll be able to provide everyone with even more. Our customers are our lifeblood, and The Teaman will never forget that. Thank you to everyone who is able to help, even in these horrid times.
