Hi everyone! I’m a solo mum with a dream to create something special—a coffee stand right outside my home where people in our community can come together over a delicious brew, a sweet treat, and a friendly smile.
I want to build a small but welcoming spot that not only serves great coffee, but also spreads warmth, connection, and kindness. 🌿
To get this off the ground, I’m looking for help to raise funds for a coffee cart and the essentials to set it up—machine, equipment, supplies, and a cozy setup.
🙏 If you're a local business, someone with advice, secondhand gear, or just a generous heart, I'd love to connect. Whether it’s a donation, sponsorship, guidance, or simply sharing this post, every little bit helps.
💌 Please PM me if you’d like to support this dream or know someone who might.
I promise—once this little cart is brewing, it’ll bring joy and flavour you won’t forget.
Let’s make something beautiful, right here in our neighbourhood. 💛
As the cooler months settle in and we spend more time at home, a burst of greenery can brighten up your space and lift your mood.
But if you think you need a big backyard to nurture your green thumb, think again.
