Help Support Café de Leche's Team

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

As many of you know, the devastating Eaton fire has tragically destroyed our beloved Café de Leche. This café was not just a business—it was a community space, a gathering place, and a dream we built together. But more than that, it’s home to a group of incredible individuals who are the true heart and soul of our café: our six wonderful employees.

We are reaching out to you in the hope that you can help us support these amazing people during this incredibly difficult time. While we work to rebuild our lives and the café, our priority is to ensure that our team has the support they need to get through this. From lost wages to the challenges of starting over, they need our help now more than ever.

Anything you can contribute will go directly to supporting our team—whether it’s helping with rent, medical bills, transportation, or other necessities. We are grateful for any donation, no matter the size, and every bit makes a meaningful difference in helping our team get back on their feet.

If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser with your network will also make a big impact.

Thank you for your love, support, and for helping us keep our community strong. We’re so grateful for each of you.

With gratitude,

Matt & Anya Schodorf
