Save The Bodhi Tree Cafe

The Bodhi Tree Cafe has been a dream of my wife and I for many years. We dreamed of a place that people could come and decompress while enjoying the company of friends and family with the comforts of home. A place where people could meet new like minded friends, all while enjoying great organic coffee & tea and treats. The cafe would also feature self help workshops and activities such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Zen meditation, a book store filled with self help books, and a cafe with vegan treats as well as sweet treats, etc ...

Back in December I was laid off from my job of 24 years we decided to "go all in" on our dream. We used all of our savings including all of our retirement. This undertaking has been monumental and larger than we anticipated along with many delays and cost overrides. We have been open for approximately three months and our clients are building, just not quickly enough. We may be sunk before we can even get any momentum built.

As much as I hate asking for help, because I feel there are so many in need at the moment, we have no choice but to ask ... or close up our dream before it can get started.

We need the money to catch up on rent, bills, purchase inventory, and advertise our business. The amount we are trying to raise will help to keep us going ... and I promise, with all of my heart, we will pay it forward when things get rolling ...

Thank you all for your thoughts.
