Help Cafe Vida – A Beloved Palisades Staple
Donation protected
Dear friends, neighbors, and kind-hearted supporters,
Our beautiful town of Pacific Palisades has been devastated by a deadly wildfire that swept through our community, leaving destruction and heartbreak in its wake. Among the losses was our cherished Cafe Vida – a staple of the Palisades since 2001.
Cafe Vida wasn’t just a restaurant; it was a place where memories were made, friendships were nurtured, and delicious, heartwarming meals were shared. It was a second home for many of us, and its absence has left a void in our hearts and community.
This GoFundMe aims to raise funds for Cafe Vida, ensuring it can once again be a gathering place for the Palisades community, as well as to provide much-needed relief for its 50 incredible employees, some of whom have been part of the Cafe Vida family since it first opened its doors.
The staff has always been the heart of Cafe Vida – their warmth, smiles, and dedication created an experience that felt like family. Supporting them during this time of hardship is just as vital as rebuilding the restaurant they helped make so special.
We cannot imagine the Palisades without Cafe Vida. With your generosity, we hope to provide relief to those impacted by this tragedy and ensure the return of this beloved establishment once the dust settles and rebuilding begins.
Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference in helping us support the employees and breathe life back into Cafe Vida. Together, as a community, we can restore this cherished gem and give it a chance to serve and uplift us once again.
Thank you for standing with us in this difficult time. Your kindness and support mean the world to us.
With heartfelt thanks,
Friends of Cafe Vida
