Support Philippe Bonsignour's Fight for his Life

Please help support my friend and founder of Bonsignour Cafe, Philippe Bonsignour who is fighting for his life. Philippe has fourth stage kidney cancer that has spread to his liver and lungs.

Let's help keep 11th Street Cafe going -for Philippe, his family and the community.

For over three decades, Philippe has been a cornerstone of the West Village community, touching countless lives through his dedication, warmth, and love for this neighborhood. He is the founder and the face behind some of our most beloved spots, Bonsignour Cafe, Bakehouse and 11th Street Cafe. Whether serving coffee with a smile, sharing stories, or simply being there for the people who call this place home, Philippe has always been a vital part of our lives.

Now, as he battles advanced stage four kidney cancer, Philippe and his family are facing one of the toughest challenges yet. While they focus on his health, they’re also trying to keep 11th Street Cafe,his labor of love—open and thriving.

This Cafe is more than just a business; it’s a gathering place for friends, neighbors, and visitors who’ve come to love the spirit that Philippe has infused into every inch of it. But with the weight of medical bills and the difficulties of running a small business, they need our help to keep it going.

We’re reaching out to the community to come together for a man who’s given so much to all of us. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly towards supporting Philippe’s treatment and keeping 11th Street Cafe’s doors open, preserving the heart of West 11th Street for years to come.

Let’s show Philippe and his family the same love and care they’ve shown us for all these years. Your generosity will not only help in his fight against cancer, but also help preserve the vibrant community space he’s created.

Thank you for your support and for helping to keep the heart of the West Village alive.
