<div>Story
</div>
<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div>My name is Tyleata, owner of JJ’s Mama’s Soulfood — a business built on love, family, and serving my community.
</div>
<div>Right now, I’m going through something I never imagined.
</div>
<div>The building where my restaurant was located has officially been sold, and I was given only 10 days to leave.
</div>
<div>This came as a complete shock.
</div>
<div>For 5 years, I have consistently paid my rent and electricity on time, doing everything I was supposed to do as a tenant and business owner. I built my business honestly, with hard work, dedication, and love for my community.
</div>
<div>When I found out the building was being sold, I tried everything I could to purchase it myself so I could keep JJ’s Mama’s Soulfood where it has been.
</div>
<div>But without established business credit, it made the process extremely difficult.
</div>
<div>I even asked if the rent I’ve faithfully paid over the years could be used toward a down payment — which would have been almost half of what they were asking — but I was told no because it wasn’t part of the original agreement.
</div>
<div>I also asked if the property could simply be transferred over to me, but again, that wasn’t an option.
</div>
<div>On top of that, I was told that the new buyers planned to keep me, which gave me hope. But in reality, I later found out I would not be staying. I was originally supposed to have more time, but due to a situation involving a check already in the mail, I was suddenly told I had just 10 days to leave.
</div>
<div>After everything I’ve poured into this business — the time, the money, the sacrifices — to have it end this way has been heartbreaking.
</div>
<div>I didn’t get time to properly prepare.
</div>
<div>I didn’t get time to transition.
</div>
<div>I didn’t get closure.
</div>
<div>But I am not giving up.
</div>
<div>JJ’s Mama’s Soulfood is more than a location — it’s a purpose. And I am determined to keep it alive.
</div>
<div>My plan now is to rebuild and relaunch by opening:
</div>
<div>• A food truck, so I can continue serving my community wherever I go
</div>
<div>or
</div>
<div>• A smaller take-out location, so I can get back up and running as quickly as possible
</div>
<div>To make this happen, I’m trying to raise 6,000 to cover:
</div>
<div>• Food truck purchase or securing a new location
</div>
<div>• Equipment and setup
</div>
<div>• Permits and licensing
</div>
<div>• Costs from this sudden closure and transition
</div>
<div>I want to say this from my heart —
</div>
<div>I am not someone who usually asks for help.
</div>
<div>If you know me, you know I’m always the one giving — feeding people, supporting others, showing up for my community again and again.
</div>
<div>But right now… I need that same support back.
</div>
<div>If JJ’s Mama’s Soulfood has ever fed you, comforted you, or been part of your life, I’m asking you to stand with me during this difficult time.
</div>
<div>No donation is too small.
</div>
<div>And if you’re unable to donate, you can still support by:
</div>
<div>• Sharing this fundraiser
</div>
<div>• Purchasing tickets to my Soulfood Experience Tour on Eventbrite
</div>
<div>This is not the end of JJ’s Mama’s Soulfood.
</div>
<div>With your help, we will rebuild, we will continue, and we will come back stronger.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your love, your support, and your prayers.
</div>
<div>With strength and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Tyleata
</div>
<div><br />
