Funding our dream

đŸŒŸ 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 heaven—holding 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 thing—but 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 didn’t just lose them—I 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 doesn’t end when the funerals do. It lingers as you try to figure out how to live again.

This fundraiser is about rebuilding—with purpose.

🧁 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 business—it’s 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 love—not pressure

And most importantly


💛 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 town—a place where people come as they are and leave a little more hopeful than when they arrived.

đŸ€ Why I’m Asking for Help

After losing my entire immediate family, starting over has been overwhelming. Grief, financial strain, and exhaustion don’t 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 donation—no matter the amount—helps turn loss into legacy.

🙏 From My Heart

I didn’t choose this loss—but 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 many—creating 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
