Help Dotory stay! Help Dotory team to live!

This nightmarish reality is something we never imagined that we would experience in our life. My hope is that we all come out of this appreciating what we had taken it for granted.  I built Dotory from scratch dreaming of making a space where creative mind and soul can rest, get nourished and perfume it with story and joy. Even though managing, cooking and owning a place by myself is "not a joke" crazy amount of work, my hard day is always paid when I see and hear a customer says exactly what I dreamt for happening at Dotory. This also is not possible without my small team who are dedicated and hard-working. It is heart breaking that my team is broken up over night without knowing if we can ever come back together. However, I am trying again to pull myself up and us to come back again and build brick by brick as I did 7 years ago. 
Dotory means acorn in Korean. It also means "mighty tiny". The small fund I am trying to raise here will be the seed to make the sprouted Dotory becoming even bigger, healthier and stronger for the years to come providing the daily tree shade of hectic life of this city. And I don't know what makes this city more beautiful and unique than having small, corky businesses like mine on all the streets you are turning into. 
With the fund you will provide, my team can get some momentary help and cheers to go on despite the magnitude of this crisis and gain the trust of life and in miracle which we all need at this time.
