<div>My name is Juan. I was born in Colombia, and came to the U.S. after nearly losing my parents to violence. 

</div>

<div>When I arrived here, like so many immigrants, I came with a dream: to build a better life and to create something that brings people together.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Elements Coffee was that dream. It’s more than a coffee shop — it’s a place where people came to work, study, meet friends, or just feel at home.

</div>

<div>Every single day, I poured my heart into every cup, hoping to create something meaningful for this community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Opening the shop was my dream, but keeping it open has been tough. Rising costs and unexpected challenges made it hard to keep up. I’ve done everything I can, but I can’t keep the doors open without help.

</div>

<div>It’s not easy for me to ask for help. This space became my way of serving this community, and it’s hard to let go of that purpose.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m deeply grateful that so many of you accepted me and embraced what Elements Coffee was meant to be. This isn’t just a business to me; it represents everything I’ve worked for and my hope of building a life here in the U.S. And I don’t want to let go of the connection we’ve built together.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>That’s why I’m asking the community for help — to raise funds so we can pay what’s owed, reopen Elements Coffee, and continue serving this space we’ve built together.

</div>

<div>If this shop has ever meant something to you… or if you believe in supporting immigrants, small businesses, and strong communities… I hope you’ll consider helping. Even a small donation or sharing this campaign means the world to me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We need 30,000 people who believe in spaces that heal.

</div>

<div> If 30,000 donate $10, we can keep the café from closing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for listening — and thank you for your support. I truly hope to welcome you back to Elements Coffee soon.

</div>
