☕️✨ A Little Dream Brewing – Can You Help? ✨☕️

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. 💛
