Help us to shoulder the financial burden of closing our lovely vegan & vegetarian restaurant/cafe.

Unfortunately we did not manage to cross the bridge over our challenges ,

but if you want to show your appreciation for efforts made,

any contribution would still be helpful to finalise our outstanding bills.

Or come to Villa 23 and enjoy our food while you still can (last day 11th Oct 2022).

WHO WE ARE

-------------------------------------------

Villa 23 originated from a strong intentionality to be a space of resourcing, reconnecting and coherent growth. Soul food (vegan/vegetarian) made with respect and much love along with the magic carried forward by the homely 100 year old Villa itself, has been of strong support to many throughout these challenging times.

It is now our turn to call out for support.

Villa 23 seems to still be "the best kept secret", urgently needing more exposure. We strongly need your support to get through the next few months to allow our present growth to carry us onwards to stability.

Your help towards funding us will make the difference and allow our doors to remain open so all the efforts can flourish and shift into sustainable financial stability. We really hold a heart wish to flourish , to be here and of service for all to resource and replenish .

Your help would be much appreciated.

Use of funds

Initially we need immediate bridging funds to help pick ourselves up, then we need to implement a marketing program on multi media, flyer distribution etc. to increase patronage.

Dear Patrons and friends,

to all who have shown caring about our efforts at Villa 23.

The business is looking for someone to take over (gifted to anyone who sees the potential of continuing Villa 23 as a vegan/vegetarian place).

We are running out of time and will be otherwise closing in 2 weeks (11th Oct 2022).

Please spread the word and feel free to call or come in for further info.

Thank you for caring, Juanita
