As the saying goes “it takes a village”, and it truly does to make a profound impact in the lives of others. As a local business owner, I'm inspired by this family’s faith and perseverance as they are facing recent challenges. This family is a shining example of community spirit and they greatly appreciate any donations raised for their cause.

Robert Lord and Kolacheez Coffee Bar is facing a challenging season. As a friend, it has been placed on my heart to help the Lord family by creating this Go Fund Me account to support their medical bills and their business.

Robert opened Kolacheez Coffee Bar in Centerburg over three years ago and has been instrumental in serving the community and the cyclists on the Ohio to Erie trail with food and fellowship. His wife's car accident a year ago has left her recovering from a brain injury, unable to work or contribute to their household of six since November 2023. Despite the financial struggles, they remain steadfast in their faith in God, acknowledging their blessings. The relocation of Kolacheez to Main Street, although necessary, has increased their debt and stress. Their objective was to commence operations last weekend, but unfortunately, this did not materialize. Each day of delayed operation results in reduced income, which is critical given that the business is their sole source of income. If you feel inclined, please consider supporting this local family, enabling them to manage their medical and other bills and continue serving the community through their business. We look forward to their reopening!
