After a lifetime of serving us, it’s time to support Donna

Let’s Help Donna Begin Her Well-Deserved Retirement ♥️

For years, Donna’s Restaurant in Corning, NY, has been a place where people feel at home. That’s all because of Donna—her warmth, her kindness, and the way she’s welcomed every customer like family.

Now, Donna is facing a serious health challenge as she bravely battles cancer. Even while managing pain and using a walker, she continues to show up for the people she loves—her community.

But the time has come for something different. Donna deserves to rest. She deserves to step away from the long hours and hard work, and finally enjoy the life she’s spent so many years building.

We’ve created this fundraiser to help Donna transition into retirement with comfort and peace of mind. The funds will help with living and medical expenses, so she can focus on her health and spend more time doing what brings her joy—surrounded by friends, family, and the community she’s always cared so deeply about.

If Donna has ever made your day brighter, served you a comforting meal, or simply made you feel seen and welcomed, now is the time to return the love. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping Donna begin this next chapter with grace and dignity.

With gratitude and love,

Friends of Donna’s
