Our strength lies in our connections 💗

Community isn’t just about shared space, it’s about shared hearts. Each small act of kindness, each genuine conversation, each moment of listening we offer to another weaves the feeling of belonging 😊

Human connection reminds us that we are never truly alone. Even in our quietest struggles, someone’s gentle word or open hand can bring us back to light ❤️

"Kindness is the bridge between souls — the quiet proof that we are all part of something greater than ourselves."

A New Chapter – Strength in Numbers ❤️

We’re excited to share that two incredible humans, Dal and Tania, who deeply understand our purpose, will be taking over the operational side of The Mind Cafe Community. This is a new chapter built on community, purpose, and shared strength ❤️

When we took over from Tony at Chicken Bitez in 2021, we inherited overdue rent. Through COVID, we lost up to $15,000 a month, but believed in what we were building. Guy had a business partner who promised financial and operational support, but in late 2022, he revealed he couldn’t repay the $80,000 he owed. This left Guy and Ana doing the best they can while debts grew 😔

An extraordinary anonymous human then loaned $80,000 to keep us afloat through 2023. We also took on a high-interest loan that, in hindsight, hurt us more than it helped. In 2024 and 2025, thanks to our incredible community, we raised $75,000 to stay open. Guy’s Westfield Local Hero Award brought $20,000, funding both Guy and Ana’s counselling diplomas ☺️

Behind the scenes, however, the financial strain continued. Guy experienced a mental health breakdown earlier this year, and today, total debts to the ATO, landlord, energy providers, financial institutions, personal loans and the kind human exceed $150,000 😞

Looking back, we know we could have made smarter decisions - becoming a charity earlier, choosing partners more wisely, and better understanding our mental health. But we also succeeded in our purpose: supporting and helping countless people through community and care 🙏

For clarity: we did not receive money for the cafe. We were ready to close for nothing. Dal and Tania are not buying the business. They’re taking over operations, employing Ana as supervisor, and allowing Guy to focus on purpose work. This opportunity means the world to us ❤️

Thank you for walking this journey with us. We're still the same cafe with love and purpose. The Mind Cafe’s heart remains, and now, with shared strength, we look to the future ☺️

Special thanks to Kristie, Debbie and our wonderful team and volunteers 🙏

Is our Guy the most prejudice person in the world?

Well... actually, it's the complete opposite ❤️

As a kid, his world was shaped by friendships that crossed cultures - Aboriginal, Maltese, Fijian Indian, Lebanese, English. Skin colour never mattered. What mattered was kindness, laughter, and the way good hearts found each other ❤️

Here at our cafe, we hold onto that truth!

On the outside, hearts may wear different colours, but inside they are all the same 🙏

💖 No prejudice
💖 Just love
💖 Just connection
💖 Just being human

So,What’s the Colour of Your Heart? 💖
