Make a Lifelong Dream Reality!

Donation protected

Ever since my son, Philip, was young, he dreamed of opening his very own restaurant. He struggled through the years with growing up the child of a single parent losing his father at a very young age. He has helped me around the house and even shared some of his earning to get food on the table. Though he persevered, the challenges he faced through school as a person with Asperger’s led to him dropping out to focus on his one true love – cooking. He worked hard to obtain his GED and even has some college and culinary school on his resume! Since leaving high school, he has worked in the food industry gaining to an astounding seven years as a cook at the mere age of 23! Philip is a genuinely wonderful young man with a keen business sense and comprehensive plan. He never likes to ask for help and always is the first to help others when they are in need. I cannot think of someone more worthy of seeing his dreams reality!

This week, the unexpected opportunity to own a restaurant emerged. Someone is selling their established and profitable business. Everything about this opportunity is perfect for a young man starting out in the industry including a fully functioning, staffed, and supplied business. It is a turnkey opportunity! He needs to come up with money quickly to make this dream a reality. He is really worried that he will not be able to ensure bank lending at such a young age, so we are turning to sources such as this to hopefully gain the funds needed for at least the down payment or earnest money while he secures other funding (he needs a total of $175,000) so he doesn’t miss this opportunity. In the end, he would need more funds, but this is a HUGE jump start for his lifelong dream to become a true reality! He needs the funding by at least the end of March to mid-April.

Philip would be forever thankful to any support he can gain as it will allow him to thrive in his favorite line of work while being able to help others that work for him and his community!
