Every day, we meet people who make our cities feel like home. Julia and TJ are two of those people. They run Mom’s, a cozy corner restaurant that serves up comfort food with heart — and a whole lot of hustle.

Through my @everydaysametime series, I’ve had the chance to visit Mom’s, get to know Julia and TJ, and share their story with you. What you saw on camera is just a glimpse of the love, work, and sacrifice they pour into their small business every single day.

Running a restaurant is never easy — and right now, I'd like to surprise them. Whether it's fixing equipment, paying staff, or just staying open another day, every dollar helps keep the lights on and the griddle hot.

If you’ve watched the series, laughed, cried, or felt connected to Julia, TJ, and their journey — this is your moment to be a part of their story.

Let’s show up for them the way they’ve shown up for their community.

Let’s keep Mom’s cooking.
