Help Me Rebuild My Dream After It Was Shattered

Donation protected

Hello,
My name is Mohammed. I came to the United States in 2017 with nothing but a small bag and big dreams. I left behind my family, my country, and everything I knew, searching for a chance at a better life. For years, I worked tirelessly taking on every job I could find, from washing dishes to cooking and restaurant shifts. I saved every dollar I could, sacrificing my own comfort, holding on to one dream: to open my own restaurant.

And by the grace of God, and after years of hard work, my dream was finally coming true. I had set up my restaurant in Cincinnati. I bought the tables, installed TVs, security cameras, equipped the kitchen everything was ready. I was just a few weeks away from opening the doors and welcoming the community in, ready to share food, kindness, and a piece of my story.

But sadly, before I could open, a thief broke into my restaurant and destroyed everything I had worked so hard for. They smashed the TVs, tore out the cameras, damaged the electrical system, ruined the water pumps, and even poured oil all over the floors, wrecking the equipment. In one night, my years of struggle and sacrifice were reduced to broken pieces.

It broke my heart. Watching your dream something you spent years building destroyed in front of you is a pain I cannot put into words. But I refuse to give up. I still believe in this dream, and I still believe in the goodness of people.

That’s why I am reaching out to you today. I need your help to rebuild what was lost to repair the damage, replace the equipment, clean and restore the restaurant. Every dollar matters. No amount is too small. Your kindness can help me stand back up and give this dream a second chance.

If you believe in hope, in second chances, and in standing by someone when they’ve fallen please consider supporting my fundraiser. I will be forever grateful to each and every person who helps me rebuild not just my restaurant, but my hope.

Thank you so much,
Your brother,
Mohammed
