Help Bring Ghetto Goodies to Life

My name is Carrington Turner, and I’m reaching out with a dream that means everything to me and my family. I’ve always wanted to create something meaningful — not just for myself, but for my three beautiful children, so they can see what it looks like to turn struggle into success.

The dream I’m working toward is opening my own restaurant called Ghetto Goodies. The name comes from my roots — I grew up in a neighborhood where we didn’t have much, but we always knew how to make something out of nothing. Food was love, creativity, and survival all in one. The meals I want to share come straight from that culture — comforting, soulful dishes that raised me — but I want to put a luxury twist on them, giving people a taste of both tradition and elegance.

This dream also carries a special meaning. My father once had the same goal: to open a restaurant of his own. Sadly, his life was cut short before he ever got the chance. Now, I want to pick up where he left off. Opening Ghetto Goodies isn’t just about food — it’s about honoring his memory, creating generational wealth for my kids, and giving my community a place where good vibes and good food meet.

Starting a business takes a lot, and I can’t do this alone. That’s why I’m asking for your support. Every donation — big or small — brings me one step closer to opening the doors of Ghetto Goodies. Your contribution will help cover startup costs like licensing, kitchen equipment, ingredients, and the foundation needed to make this restaurant a reality.

This isn’t just about me — it’s about building something bigger than myself. It’s about showing my kids that dreams are worth chasing, no matter where you come from.

If you can’t donate, sharing this page with others is just as powerful. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me and helping me turn Ghetto Goodies from a vision into a legacy.

With love and gratitude,

Carrington
