Help Addissae Stay in Asheville

Hi folks!  We're Asheville's only Ethiopian restaurant and we love our community here.  Recently we have depleted our resources and exhausted our funds to keep the restaurant afloat.  This year is our first and we've found surviving has been a greater challenge than we anticipated.  We are reaching out to the community that has been so excited to receive us to help us through the winter, and break through to the place that we need to be!

We would be using these funds for our basic costs such as: rent, utilities, insurance, and fees.  Our goal is to use the money we earn in the restaurant to keep our payroll supported.  Money donated in the next couple of weeks would help us continue to keep the restaurant running.  

Our hearts have been overflowing with the love that's been brought to both us and Addissae by our awesome customers, community, and friends.  The enthusiasm for our food, and the joy we feel from connecting over the unique culture and cuisine has been overwhelming! Unfortunately, we've not been able to bring in enough consistent business to stay open and running.  We know it would break a lot of hearts, as well as our own, to close our doors now, so we're hoping to find the same excitement that encouraged us to start an Ethiopian restaurant will be here in your generous donations to keep us alive.  

We hope to continue to share our delicious food and live the dream we have had for years.  Our gratitude for your support is endless and we want nothing more than to continue to serve you, Asheville!
