Support for Alebi African cuisine

Hi, we’re Andrijana and Stacey, and we’re starting this fundraiser to support Stacey’s grandma, who tragically lost her beloved restaurant in a fire last night. She’s owned and operated this amazing restaurant for the past 9 years, pouring her heart and soul into creating a warm, welcoming space for everyone.

This restaurant wasn’t just a place to eat it was a cornerstone of our community, where friends and families came together to enjoy incredible food and meaningful connections. The meals she created weren’t just delicious; they were made with so much love, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who visited.

As Stacey’s best friend, I’ve had the privilege of visiting the restaurant many times. Every visit showed me just how special it was and how much it means to their family. It’s more than a business—it’s a place filled with memories, love, and hard work. Seeing Stacey’s grandma’s pride in the restaurant and how much it means to her has been truly inspiring, which makes this loss even more heartbreaking.

On top of this, the fire has left all the wonderful people who worked there out of jobs. Stacey’s grandma built a team that was like family, and now they’re all facing uncertainty while trying to support their own families. We want to do everything we can to help them too.

We’re raising funds to help Stacey’s grandma rebuild what she’s worked so hard to create and to support the staff during this difficult time. The funds will go toward clearing the damage, replacing essential equipment, and helping her reopen this incredible space that has brought so much joy to so many.

Your support means everything to us. Whether it’s through a donation or sharing this fundraiser, every contribution helps us take a step closer to restoring her dream and supporting the team that made it all possible. Let’s come together and bring back the warmth, love, and incredible food that her restaurant gave us all.
