Let's Open Cafénation!
Donation protected
I BOUGHT A COFFEE SHOP - and I'd love for you to be a part!
It's been a dream of mine to own a business and provide a place of connection for people, in a city prone to feeling transient. So when the opportunity arose to purchase Cafénation, a coffee shop in the center of Brighton (a neighborhood of Boston) that has been a fixture for over 15 years, it felt like God was opening a door! My desire is to cultivate a space for people to share life, where customers feel they have ownership and a place they can use in many capacities - whether it be social, professional, or for after-hours entertainment to find a place of community and creativity.
I've had overwhelming support and encouragement from friends and colleagues as I've made steps towards realizing this dream. It truly feels like a team endeavor, and my hope is that it will also provide an opportunity to impact the community in new ways!
I'm raising additional funds to give Cafénation a much needed makeover, helping me re-open to the community with a strong product and fresh image. All money raised will be used to cover improvements such as decor, design, simple repairs, and startup operational costs.
Would you consider helping me re-vamp Cafénation and bring renewed excitement for Brighton residents to frequent their local coffee shop?!
I am grateful for any donations, and to sweeten the deal here are some fun incentives (see below)! You'll receive the 'special' that correlates to the highest benchmark you gave (i.e. a gift of $1,000 earns you the Purchase Date Special).
