<div><a href="https://www.islandsoulrestaurant.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Island Soul</a> has always been more than just a place to eat—it is a space full of love, culture, and connection. Over the years, you have laughed with us, celebrated with us, and supported us through every twist and turn. And now, we are reaching out to ask for a little more help, but not just for what is on the plate.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As some of you know, we recently had to close <a href="https://www.instagram.com/islandsoulkirkland" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arleana’s in Kirkland</a> . It was a tough decision, and while we are proud of what we built there, the legal costs from the closure have hit us hard. It is putting pressure on our flagship location in Columbia City, and we want to make sure Island Soul stays strong and steady.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are not selling. We are not stepping away. We are staying rooted right here and focused on growing. But we could use some support covering these legal fees so we can keep moving forward without added stress.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is not about charity, it is about community. If <a href="https://www.instagram.com/islandsoulseattle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Island Soul has ever made you feel at home</a>, fed your soul, or brought a little joy to your day, this is a way to help us keep that energy going.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From me, my family, and the whole Island Soul family—thank you. We are grateful for every single one of you. Let’s finish this chapter strong and keep writing the next one together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With love,</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Theo and the Island Soul Family</strong>
