Neighbors Raise Cash For Healdsburg Restaurant Owners After Burglary

HEALDSBURG, CA — North Bay neighbors are chipping in to help the owners of a beloved Healdsburg restaurant after their home was burglarized last month.

According to the organizers of an online fundraiser, a burglar stole irreplaceable items from the Kloytamwong family's Windsor home on June 28, damaging or stealing many of their belongings, with only a fraction covered by insurance. The family, who owns Thai Orchid Cuisine in Healdsburg, discovered the crime when they returned home that evening.

"The family has devoted 20 years to feeding the community with love and smiles," Friends of Thai Orchird wrote on a GoFundMe page. "Returning the favor with any form of donation will be incredibly impactful in their time of deserving need."

In the days since the fundraiser launched, more than five dozen donors have contributed nearly $9,000 of the $10,000 goal.
