Watching the @_cathyfan story reminded us of the amazing experience we had with @storybites._ They didn’t just tell our story, they helped us reach people far beyond our local community. What touched us most were the kind words and heartfelt messages from strangers all over the world. During a challenging time, the outpouring of love and support made Julie, our chef, feel like everything was going to be okay. Knowing that our story resonated with so many people, even those we’d never met, reminded us of the power of connection. We’re so grateful to @storybites._ for bringing our story to life and for helping us feel the love and encouragement from every corner of the world.
