That “man” is me.

I will wait and let the story air first and hope that KY3 shares the full story and puts in every detail that matters.

The long story short, I messed up, I take responsibility for it. There was nothing but good intentions behind it. The truth is I was irresponsible and procrastinated. The restaurant was only able to raise $39 in funding, and then we promised to donate 5% of sales on top of that.

I had so much going on at the time that I kept procrastinating getting the numbers done and reaching out to the family. They never reached out to me either. Next thing I know, they got an attorney involved a couple months later. The attorney and I played phone tag for a couple weeks. And I made several efforts to try and reach him, but he made minimal effort to get in touch with me. I left my email and asked to set a date for a meeting, he never emailed. So I put the case aside and would resume the moment they reached me, but they never did so it just got forgotten about again.

Fast forward a few months, KY3 emails me and says they’re doing a story. Now we’re here.

It was an honest mistake that I took so long to reach out. I just wished they would had contacted me first. They made zero attempt. There was nothing but good intention behind this. I am still wanting to make this right, and I’m waiting for an email back from their attorney to tell me what they want me to do with the funding. But since they got legal involved, that’s why I’m no longer reaching out to them personally. It will be me and their lawyers, or my lawyers and their lawyers.

Story airs Monday at 10pm. I’ll answer simple/small questions, but I’d like to remain mostly silent until the story airs.

Are you serious? You can make a story out of anything when you're local news.

Local man accidentally forgets donations would have played. If he hadn't refused to reach out to them for another TWO WEEKS after interviewed

In factually we have an incredibly good local news scene, but you're not incorrect. They make mountains outta ant hills but I at least Don't believe so here.

Everyone has been waiting for you to make good on your promise for several months. Quit dragging your feet, go to the attorney’s office, and leave the check there. The longer you continue to drag it out, the worse you look, no matter how many different posts on social media you make admitting fault.

I’m pretty sure it was for the family of a little girl that passed in an accident last year

So you look over your receipts for the period in question. Multiply the total by .05. Add $39. Write a check. Deliver it to the Neale & Newman Law Firm. That sounds pretty straightforward.
