Support for a wonderful family forced to shut their business.

Paraparaumu, Wellington

Mike and Sabrina have been fantastic owners of The Common Room Cafe, Maclean St. Paraparaumu Beach for 4 years. Their business is friendly and welcoming, with customers and surrounding business's all valuing their presence in the street.

Last Friday, February 2nd, the landlord of the building terminated the lease and has given them until March 1 to vacate, ONLY 3 WEEKS NOTICE.

Mike and Sabrina are expecting their 4th child in 6 weeks and have recently purchased a home. One can only imagine the stress they are under to find out their successful business has to close the doors through no fault of their own.

We want to support them as much as we can, We being their customers and other business's in the street, so this Givealittle page has been set up.

If you are in the area over the next 3 weeks, please support them by getting a coffee and something nice to eat while you can, and add some $ to this Givealittle cause.

We know Mike and Sabrina will appreciate every bit of support available.

Thanks
