That’s a big help,” Butler said. “It takes the burden off, and you’re able to focus on healing.”Butler and 1220 Café owner Noah Griggs have known each other for over 25 years, even before the restaurant opened. They first met while working together at Hardee’s, where Griggs started as an hourly worker and later moved up to executive roles. When Griggs came back to Tallassee to open 1220 Café almost 15 years ago, Butler was the first person he hired.“David being the person that he is, hardworking, dedicated, loyal, loves people, loves to serve, David was my first hire,” Griggs said. “It wasn’t even a question as to whether or not we wanted to hire him.”Coworkers say Butler is a hard worker, a kind person, and an important part of the team. After his diagnosis, several fundraisers have started in the area. 1220 Café is running a “Round Up for David” fundraiser all November, letting guests round up their bills to donate. There is also a GoFundMe online to help with his medical and living expenses.Butler thanked the Griggs, Taylor, and Conway families, along with everyone at 1220 Café, for helping him when he needed it most.“I thank them from the bottom of my heart,” Butler said. “I thank God that I showed them love before I got in this situation. I’m just grateful for all the love that’s being shown, and I’m just grateful to still be on this side.”For anyone interested in supporting this cause for David Butler, you can check out the 1220 Cafe Facebook page or use this link to donate to the GoFundMe: https://bit.ly/4ztPrsZ.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2yT2oQ_1GuobawF00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2yT2oQ_1GuobawF00" width="1170" height="878" ></figure></div></body>
