Wow community, what a year and some change! It has truly been an honor to meet each of you, hear your stories, and share laughs, sass, and overall just the best vibes. Whatever Forever Coffee has already grown past my wildest dreams. A crew of regulars turned friends and into family. A dog community so epic it needs its own shop. Bagel Sundays, clothing swaps, art sales, and more.

And now here we are. My landlord gave me 30 days' notice on Thanksgiving in the thick of the holiday season. Some of you don't know, but I work another part-time job to help fund this and my own life and bills. The past few months, I've been slowly building to only run the shop. This notice has had a wild domino effect on my life. Now faced with moving out of my house and into something else, shopping for a new place to park the shop so that I can keep this amazing community going. I am very humbly asking for help. I have sat with this and have tried every way to not have to ask or feel as if this is not a big deal, but it is. This is how I live and can be here with all of you.

Also, if this is your first time really meeting me, hi! I’m Rem. I started this shop a little over a year ago with one goal, to create a place where everyone feels at home. Where we talk to each other, help each other, and build each other up. It's a dirtbag living room kinda vibe, and I have never been prouder to help create it with all of you. I grew up in Boulder and moved here to start over. A love story old as time, and in one short year, this has been one of the coolest things to watch come alive. It’s a one-woman show with now a community of friends.

So if you feel as if you want to keep this dream of mine alive, I will forever be grateful. I want to have a party to eventually be able to give back to you and truly from the bottom of my heart thank you, and thank you for showing me what community really is.

-Rem
