❤️ SHE JUST WANTS MORE TIME WITH HER GRANDDAUGHTER. ❤️
Sometimes, being part of a small community means coming together for someone who needs us most. Today, we’re asking Levant, Carmel, and all our neighboring communities to come together for one of our own. ❤️
Meet Eva Gould (Cookson). She’s a loving mother, a best friend, and most importantly, she’s “Nae-Nae” to a little 2½-year-old girl who absolutely adores her. 💕
Eva has been diagnosed with end-stage Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a devastating lung disease. Her family has been told she may have just 18–24 months, and a double-lung transplant may be her only chance at more time. She’s currently undergoing evaluations in Boston to see if she’s eligible.
Her daughter, Gigi, shared something with us that we haven’t been able to forget:
“My daughter deserves to grow older with her Nae-Nae.” 💔
Just imagine wanting nothing more than to watch your granddaughter grow up, celebrate another birthday, share another Christmas, or simply spend another afternoon together.
Meanwhile, Eva can no longer work. Her husband is missing work to take her to medical appointments, and their savings have been exhausted by travel, medical expenses, and everyday bills.
That’s why we’ve decided to do something together.
⛽❤️ TWO STORES. ONE COMMUNITY. ONE MISSION.
From October 15–30, both of our stores:
📍 Levant Corner Store — Levant, ME
📍 Ye Ole General Store — Carmel, ME
will donate 5¢ for EVERY gallon of fuel sold directly toward Eva’s family fundraiser.
❤️ No extra charge to our customers.
❤️ No special purchase required beyond your regular fill-up.
❤️ Every gallon helps us give a little more.
We’re not asking anyone to spend more than they normally would. We’re simply choosing to give back from what our community already supports us with every day.
Because these stores aren’t just businesses to us. They’re part of the communities we call home.
Our customers have supported us, welcomed us, and helped us grow. Now we have an opportunity to turn that support into something meaningful for a local family.
🎯 Eva’s family is hoping to raise $12,000.
If you’d like to contribute directly, even $5 can make a difference:

🙏 PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
Even if you can’t donate or stop by for gas, you can still help.
❤️ Share this post with your friends and family.
❤️ Tag someone from Levant, Carmel, Bangor, Hermon, or surrounding towns.
❤️ Help us make sure Eva’s story reaches as many caring hearts as possible.
We may be two small stores in two small towns, but together, we can make a meaningful difference.
Let’s show Eva, Gigi, and little Nae-Nae that they have an entire community standing behind them.
We’re all in this together. ❤️
With love,
Your Levant Corner Store & Ye Ole General Store Family ❤️
