I hope this message finds you well during these trying times. I am writing to you to ask for your support and sponsorship in this exciting new chapter in my life! You have supported me and my family both in thought and in action for most of my life, and I am calling on you to continue that support now. I understand that now might not be the “best” time to ask you for financial support, but I must continue as if my obligations are still present and pressing. I have been building a food services company, Mellow D LLC, for nearly 3 years and I have the opportunity to take the business to the next level with your help.

Mellow D LLC is a food services company that strives to produce great tasting products every single time, for any situation. Our journey started with serving food through social media to students at Duke University and North Carolina Central University and has evolved into three fully-functional brands: Krave Nutrition & Meal Preparation, Coast to Coast Full Service Catering, and Melody Private Dining Experience. These brands round out an immersive dining experience and allow our company to showcase the versatility and talent we have.

Currently, we have the opportunity to expand the business. We are in the process of partnering with a well-established event venue in the South Durham area. This means being in charge of catering for the 30+ large-scale events each month, as well as offering lunch and dinner to the public on a weekly basis. To be truly successful in this space, we'll need to add some equipment to the kitchen. The equipment will help ensure we are able to produce great food in a timely fashion and on a consistent basis. I am asking for your financial support in acquiring these items. I have compiled a list of items we plan to purchase.
