Friends, family, and members of the community have been rallying around Debbie Audia, owner and operator of Time Flies Ceramics in Seaford, as she battles COVID-19 complications and attempts to keep her business afloat.

Audia opened Time Flies Ceramics as an art studio with the idea of people of all ages coming together to make art and memories. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been set up to assist her family in supporting her medical bills and maintaining her beloved business as she recovers.

Audia has been active in her community for a large bulk of her life. She has gone above and beyond as a local business owner to give back, helping out her community in a number of ways such as holding classes at the local library, running fundraisers for a number of causes, working with the disabled, and a variety of other services. 

Most recently, Audia has been delivering ceramic arts to first responders' children to lessen their stress and bring some joy into their lives during extremely difficult circumstances. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, she has gone out of her way to deliver "on-the-go” kits to customers to continue supporting their hobbies and her business. 

Her tireless efforts to maintain her business and give back to her community have not come without hardship. Audia has been hospitalized three times since Christmas due to COVID complications, and is currently back in the hospital for the same reason, having spent the last few weeks on a ventilator. 

Friends and family have rallied around Audia as they do their best to pay her medical bills and maintain Time Flies Ceramics while she remains hospitalized. They are asking for the help of their community, which Audia has loved and serviced so dearly, to chip in to help keep Time Flies Ceramics open as she gets back on her feet.
