Hello to all my supporters, I would like to thank everyone in advance for supporting this effort to get my juice bar & cafe back in business. Before I share the story of what led me to seek community support for this fundraiser, I want to share an important bible verse that helps explain my story. Proverbs 10:9 (NIV): 'Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.'

Recently, I faced an unexpected setback when my previous juice bar was forced to close unexpectedly and abruptly within a month time due to my landlord breaching our contract agreement in attempt to exploit and take advantage of a small business owner. This experience was incredibly challenging, both emotionally and financially, but it has only strengthened my resolve to continue serving my community with healthy, fresh options. I am passionate about creating a welcoming space where people can gather, enjoy nutritious food and drinks, and feel a sense of belonging.

With your support, I hope to open a new juice bar location and bring this vision back to life. The funds raised will go directly toward securing a new lease, purchasing essential equipment, covering rent, and supporting payroll for staff. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help me rebuild and provide meaningful jobs in our neighborhood. Thank you for believing in me and for being part of this journey to restore something special for our community.
