Funding our dream
đŸ A Place of Healing, Faith, and Community
For the past three years, my life has been defined by love, loss, and service.
I cared for my grandfather, my sister who lived with cerebral palsy, and my mother, who bravely battled metastatic breast cancer that spread to her bones. One by one, I walked them home to heavenâholding hands, praying, advocating, and loving them through their final moments.
For more than five years, every single day, I made my momma her coffee. It was a small thingâbut it became the happiest ritual of my day. No matter how hard the night had been or how heavy the diagnosis felt, that cup of coffee was love in action. It was consistency. It was care. It was presence.
When my family passed, I didnât just lose themâI lost the rhythm of my days, the home built around caring for them, and the quiet joy found in serving the ones I loved most. Grief doesnât end when the funerals do. It lingers as you try to figure out how to live again.
This fundraiser is about rebuildingâwith purpose.
đ§ The Vision: A Bakery & Play Place With a Mission
I am believing God for the opportunity to open a bakery and family play space that is more than a businessâitâs a safe haven.
A place where the love I poured into my family can be poured into the community.
A place where:
- Families gather for clean, wholesome fun
- Kids can play while parents take a breath
- We host fancy pajama Bible studies
- We offer baking classes that bring generations together
- We hold family-friendly comedy nights filled with joy and laughter
- Faith is lived out in loveânot pressure
And most importantlyâŠ
đ All unsold food will be donated to the homeless community
No waste. No shame. Just nourishment and dignity.
This will be THE Christian hangout spot in townâa place where people come as they are and leave a little more hopeful than when they arrived.
đ€ Why Iâm Asking for Help
After losing my entire immediate family, starting over has been overwhelming. Grief, financial strain, and exhaustion donât disappear just because you have a dream. But I believe God restores through community.
Your support will help with:
- Purchasing or securing a bakery & play space
- Equipment and safety setup
- Licensing, permits, and insurance
- Initial food inventory and supplies
- Creating a warm, safe, faith-filled environment
Every donationâno matter the amountâhelps turn loss into legacy.
đ From My Heart
I didnât choose this lossâbut I am choosing to let it give birth to something good.
What began as making one cup of coffee for my momma each day has become a dream of serving manyâcreating a place where people feel cared for, seen, and welcomed.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for praying. Thank you for helping me rise after loss and build something that will bless families, children, and those in need.
With gratitude and hope,
Mikala Anais
