Hi everyone! For those who know me, you know I’m not someone who easily asks for help, but right now, I truly need it.

A few weeks ago, I was laid off from Rivian, and while it was a devastating change, it pushed me to finally pursue my lifelong dream: opening a coffee shop.

To take the first step, I’m working on building a mobile coffee setup. Either renovating an old horse trailer or creating a mobile cart. My 80-year-old grandfather is generously helping me with this project. To get it up and running, I need an espresso machine, grinder, water system, and permits which totals about $5,000 total.

To share the vision and thank you all, I’ll be hosting a coffee pop-up at my house with cold brew, homemade sweeteners, milk options, cold foams, music, and snacks. If you’d like to come support or just hang out, message me for the address and invitation.

Thank you to everyone who has already encouraged me. Your support means the world and brings this dream so much closer to reality!
