In the wake of a devastating fire that occurred on March 18, the Backus family in Charleston, West Virginia, has been left homeless with eight children. The family is now working to rebuild their lives after losing everything in the fire.
Corey Austin, a manager at Lola’s on Bridge Road, has known the Backus family for years and expressed his love for them and their children, describing them as “awesome”. In an effort to help the family during this difficult time, Lola’s has decided to donate all proceeds from Tuesday evening to the Backus family.
All sales from the evening, including in-house dining and to-go orders, will go directly to the family. This generous gesture by Lola’s is a way to support the family as they work to recover from the fire. Additionally, the restaurant will continue to accept donations for the Backus family throughout the week.
The Backus family owns Liberty Roe Children’s Clothier and Toy Co. in the South Hills area, and the community is coming together to support them in their time of need. The outpouring of support and generosity from Lola’s and others in the community is a testament to the strength and compassion of Charleston community during crisis times.
