The story

My name is chamini Risanthika Dewanarayana,the owner of "Rishi Cake", a small cake business in Sri Lanka. I am a single mother raising my 16-year-old son and working hard to provide him with a better future. Unfortunately, my business has recently experienced a difficult period and sales have dropped significantly. Rishi Cake is my main source of income, and without this business, it has become extremely difficult to manage our daily expenses, including my son's school fees, food, house rent and other essential living costs. I am not asking for help because I want to give up. I am asking for an opportunity to start again. My dream is to rebuild Rishi Cake, bring back customers, improve my business and become financially independent again. I am seeking $5,000 in donations to help restart and rebuild my business. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in our lives. Your support will not only help rebuild a small business but also help a mother continue working towards a brighter future for her son. If you cannot donate, sharing my story with others would also mean so much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me, supporting my dream and giving Rishi Cake another chance. ❤️

    Rebuilding a small business after sales drop takes patience and nerve. May customers find their way back to your cakes, and school fees and rent ease while you start again.

    • Working to keep your son in school while the business recovers is a heavy thing to carry. Praying the rebuild comes together and that the fees and rent stop keeping you awake.
