Help Aetheria Arts & Dragon Café Move Safely

Help Aetheria Arts & Dragon Café Move to a Safe New Home

Hi friends, family, and kind strangers!

We are Aetheria Arts & Dragon Café. A nerdy, cozy, creative café and retail space built with passion, love, and a dream: to create a welcoming home for gamers, artists, introverts, and dreamers of all ages. We host trading card tournaments, art workshops, community clubs, D&D nights, and offer a menu full of comforting teas, milk drinks, and international snacks; all served in a space that celebrates magic, community, and inclusion.

Now we're at a crossroads.

~Why We're Moving:

Our current location, inside a mall, has taken a deep toll on our small, family-owned business. We've weathered slow seasons that made rent nearly impossible, faced $1,000 power bills due to broken and inadequate A/C systems, and encountered ongoing health and safety concerns, some of which have caused severe medical issues for our family. It’s no longer a sustainable or safe place for us or our customers.

This move isn’t optional. It’s necessary.

We’ve just signed a lease on a new space, one that will finally allow us to thrive. Making that move while still paying off remaining obligations at our current location is more than we can do alone. That’s why we’re reaching out with vulnerability and hope.

~What Your Support Will Do~

Your donation will help us:

-Pay off remaining rent at the current location

-Safely move our café, store items, and equipment

-Begin light renovations and setup in the new space

-Reopen quickly so we don’t lose momentum or community!

~Why This Matters~

This isn’t just about a business, it’s about a community space we’ve built from scratch, with love, grit, and Hope. Aetheria has become a safe haven for people of all ages and backgrounds. It’s where people make friends, explore their passions, and feel like they truly belong.

If you’ve ever enjoyed a warm tea at our table, discovered a new game, made a friend at one of our events, or simply believe in the power of small businesses with big hearts — we would be so grateful for your support.

Even if you can't donate, please consider sharing this page. Every little bit helps — and every kind word keeps us going.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in us.

With love and magic,

The Aetheria Arts & Dragon Café Family
