Ed,
Thanks for your kind note.
If you'll dump a little change into "mine", I will dump a little change into
"yours". I just think it's way to help these folks feel that somebody has
noticed what they are doing and is aware of what has happened to them.
Thanks,
Nick

Nick -
Thanks for the link. Ohori's is not my goto, but I'm 100% with the spirit.
I have had no traction on trying to extend this kind of help TO my regular
go-tos. I am of a mind that at the very least, my weekly *tip* budget
could go straight into the same pockets it used to with no harm to me...
and as you point out, my entire luxury food/services budget could go that
way as well.
I'll check for other go-fund-me's in SFe and would love to hear from others
who have discovered similar to yours here.

To The Mother Church,
As you know, I am addicted to coffee and particularly to coffee houses, and
particularly to Ohori's-next-to-Kaune's, where I like to loll in the
sunshine of a late afternoon like the flea-bitten old dog that I am. Over
the years I have come to befriend and greatly admire the Barista's of Santa
Fe. They remind me of graduate students. Many of them are using barista
work to make possible independent scholarship, artistic careers, and musical
careers, pursued for the sheer love of it. So when the virus hit in March
and many of them lost work, I tried to set up some sort of a fund to help
them. But not being gig-economy type, I couldn't see how to do it.
Now, to my delight, one of the workers has set up a gofundme site.

I am hoping that those of you who have shared my pleasure in dealing with
these young folks will make some sort of a donation, if only as a token of
your support.
I am figuring it this way: I am saving about 7 - 10 dollars a day in
latte's and zucchini bread (AND lost three pounds). I figure that savings
ought to go to them.
It would be a great kindness to me if you would pitch in.
All the best,
Nick
