Multiple Columbians, who love Mila Martinico and believe in her small-business dreams, are banding together to start a fundraiser to equip her with the supplies needed to comply with updated city codes. The city has given Mila until October 4th to make all necessary changes, so she's in a time crunch. We believe Mama Mila’s authentic, Italian atmosphere has quickly become an integral part of Columbia’s downtown, and we'll do whatever it takes to help her restaurant succeed!

The smell of freshly baked Focaccia bread has wafted through the streets of the Square since Mama Mila opened her doors 6 weeks ago. Whether it's a fresh plate of penne pasta smothered in Gemma sauce, lasagnas made from recipes 5 generations old, or decadent cannolis covered in 24k edible gold, every authentic dish is handmade by Mama Mila herself.

In order to keep her dream in motion, please consider contributing monetarily. Although any amount is helpful, if a donation isn't something you can afford, please share this fundraiser so we can spread the word to as many people as possible! We love our Columbia community and know that we're capable of working together to support this lovely, small-business owner. 

In the words of Mama Mila, "Tanti Baci!"
