Hi everyone...
This is a long shot type of deal.  Let me explain.

First of all... I have owned L and R Cafe for over 15 years.  It is totally paid for; although, I am paying on the freezer unit which needed replaced a few years ago,(7,000) and the reserfacing of the parking lot last year. (23,000) Restaurants do not make a ton of money and paying for things can take some time.  

Secondly... There is another big issue that needs to be adressed:  the roof.   It is leaking and is  in need of being totally replaced before winter. I already have too much to pay for.  I need help.

I have helped many organizations, sports teams and individuals raise money for various needs.   I raised $5,000. for one cancer victum and helped with 8,000 for another.  I have helped to raise 2,000 for senior class trips two different times.  I have held fund raisers at my cafe for the cheerleaders, football players, AAU basketball, Quincy soccer and Grid kids football.  I have purchased donkey basket ball tickets, girl scout cookies, cookie dough and baked goods.  Ive been paying it forward for many years... and now, I need help.

I would greatly appreciate the help and generosity of others , as it is so very hard to ask for help.  I have no other way to do this since I have other things I am paying for.  I want to continue to help individuals and kids sports and organizations but I  am afraid my roof will not make it through winter.
 
Please help if you can.  God bless you all.
