Hey guys, Andy here.
A lot of people have been asking where I’ve been and what’s been going on, so I figured it was time to finally be honest about it.
The truth is, the last several months I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and depression. The last few months especially have honestly been some of the hardest of my life. During that time, I kind of shut down and wasn’t there the way I should’ve been for my family, friends, the guys at the shop, or our customers. Because of that, things at Krowned started going downhill, and I take full responsibility for that.
To anyone we let down, ignored messages from, missed calls from, or disappointed in any way, I truly am sorry. That’s on me.
I’m not posting this because I want sympathy or anyone to feel bad for me. I just know there are a lot of people out there fighting battles nobody sees, and depression can take a huge toll on you mentally and physically. If you’re struggling, please talk to somebody. Don’t keep everything bottled up. Whether it’s family, friends, church, or a professional, reaching out really does help more than you think.
I also want to thank everyone who has stuck by us, checked in on me, prayed for me, and continued supporting the shop through all of this. It means more than I can explain.
The guys at the shop have done everything they could to hold things together, and I appreciate them more than they know. We’ve made a lot of changes, and I’m finally getting back to myself and focused on getting Krowned back where it should be.
We’re ready to work and hoping we can earn everyone’s trust and business back. If there’s anything we can help you with, or if there are any past issues that may have been overlooked and still need addressed, please reach out to us directly so we can make it right. We’d truly appreciate the chance to show up for you again.
My new personal number is 217-772-3585.
Shop number is still 309-825-7754.
One thing I’ve learned through all this is that God really does put people in your life for a reason, and I’m beyond thankful for mine. Thank you again to everybody who has supported us through everything. ❤️
