A local southern Alberta family is struggling to hold onto the property they have been working towards developing as a place to help employ people with disabilities, and is asking for the community’s support to save it. Since moving from their successful greenhouse in Barons several years ago, Suzie Irwin and her husband Brandt moved to Lethbridge to open a flower shop and coffee shop with plans to later open the greenhouse.

Years later, family friend Karlie Puchala launched a GoFundMe to revive the project and save the property.
