Words can express.. so here we go..

I didn't think I stood a chance only a few days ago.

8 months in, working every hour, just plugging away at the impossible task of doing it all.. no money to hire a second pair of hands..

And then BANG!!

The community that has built here around Pennys Pizzeria and all the new friends and old who have absolutely thrown themselves at saving this drowning man..

F**k me I really want to prove that I deserve this.

Thank you all so much for the chance. I was genuinely one day away from literally becoming homeless.. again..

And you all came and took a chance on me and left with full bellies and happy hearts.. I hope!! 🤣🤣

I can only keep thanking you with the tasty pizza that you all make possible by supporting me.

GENUINELY love you all. ❤️😭❤️
