<div> Help Save Caprigios Pizza — A Family Business Built with Love

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To our amazing community,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to write.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For the past seven years, our family has poured our hearts, faith, sweat, tears, laughter, and love into Caprigios Pizza. From the very beginning, our mission was never just to sell pizza — it was to create a place where people could come in as friends and leave feeling like family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We truly love what we do.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every pizza, every lasagna, every meatball, every hot sub has been made with love and pride because we care deeply about our customers and this community. Many of you have watched us grow, supported us through difficult seasons, celebrated milestones with us, and allowed us to be part of your lives. For that, we are forever grateful.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But today, we are struggling.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Like many small businesses, the economy has hit us harder than we ever imagined. The cost of cheese, meats, supplies, utilities, insurance, and everyday operating expenses has increased tremendously. We have tried our best not to raise our prices too much because we never wanted families to feel like they could no longer afford to enjoy a meal together at Caprigios.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>At the same time, we refused to lower our quality.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We never wanted to cut corners or switch to cheaper ingredients just to survive. We believed our customers deserved the same great food and care we’ve always provided. Unfortunately, trying to absorb these rising costs while keeping quality high has taken a serious toll on us financially.You may ask if you help us how will we continue? We recently started using Door Dash which has increased our bottom line and Uber eats is coming in the next few days. This will help sustain us. We need help to catch up!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We have exhausted nearly every option we can think of.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’ve applied for loans, searched for grants, spoken to lenders, tried different financing options, and continued fighting every single day to keep our doors open. But with the current economy and the damage this struggle has done to our personal and business credit, traditional funding has become almost impossible for us to obtain.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We never imagined we would have to ask for help this way.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Honestly, this is our last resort.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But we believe in being humble, vulnerable, and truthful. We believe God guides us even through difficult seasons, and right now we are praying for a miracle and asking our community for help.

</div>

<div>We also know this is Gods territory and the more we have given, prayed with people and showed love the more we have been attacked…We believe God has a miracle in store &amp; we will always put him first even as we go thru this!!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If Caprigios has ever made you smile, brought your family together for dinner, comforted you after a hard day, catered your events, supported local causes, or simply been a place you’ve enjoyed over the years, we humbly ask you to consider helping us …..We have 3 more years with our lease and hope to extend it in 5 yr increments once it’s time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even a small donation matters more than you know.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sometimes we look at our Facebook/Instagram followers and think… if people donated even $5 or $10, it could truly help us get over this mountain we are trying so hard to climb.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We know not everyone can give financially, and we completely understand. But even sharing this fundraiser, saying a prayer for us, or encouraging others to support small businesses means the world to our family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Failure has never been an option for us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are fighters. We are hard workers. And we are doing everything we possibly can to continue serving this community that we love so much.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To those who choose compassion over judgment, encouragement over criticism, and support over negativity — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your kindness, prayers, and generosity could truly help save our family business.One thing I heard again today at church -God will make a way where there seems no way!

</div>

<div>We have to believe this especially after us always trying to help others even when we had not much to give…

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love, gratitude, and faith,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>
