Support Our Cafe's Journey Through Tough Times

Hi everyone! Well, I've achieved our dream. The team and myself are very proud of what we have accomplished. We appreciate all the support day in and day out from our community.

I started this journey with little to nothing. My wonderful mother-in-law helped me to acquire this space and the Cornerstone business. From there, I have put everything I have into the cafe. Machines and equipment broke down as expected, and I've done what I've needed to do to keep this place running and to try to make it what it needs to be. With that being said, I have been learning a lot. I have had ups and downs, and I'm proud of myself for jumping into the unknown, but with that, I have found myself in a spot where I finally need to ask for help.

I have gone back and forth as to whether I just keep praying I can do this by myself, or humble myself to the point where I write this. Summer wasn't what it usually is. With Broadway being remodeled into a great space, it kept customers from enjoying downtown as much. And now, going into the slower season, trying to understand labor and where I am needed, I have been just keeping above water, trying to navigate through these trials. I had to put a lot of the restaurant's funds into the equipment needed to operate, and in having to do that, I am in need of some help.

I will continue putting my heart and soul into getting the cafe together. I know this is a hard time for a lot of people. If you're able to help at all, we will be so grateful. I will be so grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read this. God bless.
