A server of Langford’s Bucky’s Taphouse has had to be hospitalized for the last month after finding out she has an illness which is yet to be diagnosed.
Kirsten Mitchell’s co-workers know her as a beloved friend and colleague and wish to help her through this difficult time.
Because she is unable to work and is going through physical, emotional and financial stress, her co-workers have launched a GoFundMe fundraiser on her behalf to help ease the burden.

“In times of adversity, it’s the strength of our community that truly shines through,” said Trevor Overbury, a colleague of Mitchell’s.
“Today, we come together to support one of our own in a time of need.”
Overbury says the situation has taken a toll on Mitchell and her family and the fundraiser is a way for the community which she serves at Bucky’s to provide aid through this stressful time.
Any money gained through this fundraiser will help ease the burden of any medical expenses, transportation costs and to alleviate lost funds caused by missed workdays.
“Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and demonstrate our collective support for Kirsten and her family,” Overbury wrote.
“Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues. Your kindness and compassion will make a world of difference to Kirsten and her family during this trying time.”
As of this publication, $2,285 of its $7,500 has been raised in just four days.
