To our Little Etna family,
Over the past few days, we have been overwhelmed by the love, encouragement, and support you’ve shown us after we announced the closure of Little Etna. Every message, comment, and phone call has reminded us how fortunate we are to have such an incredible community behind us.
Closing Little Etna was one of the hardest decisions our family has ever had to make. Due to unexpected family changes and increasing operating costs, we reached a point where we could no longer operate responsibly. Before making that decision, we explored every option available to us, including speaking with banks and looking into business financing. Unfortunately, as a new family-owned business, we were unable to qualify for the support we needed.
Many of you asked how you could help and encouraged us to create a GoFundMe. Asking for help has never been easy for us, but after so many of you suggested it, we decided to give it a chance.
This fundraiser is about giving Little Etna the opportunity to continue its story. Your support will help us renew our licenses, maintain our insurance, cover essential operating expenses, and preserve everything we’ve worked so hard to build. Our hope is that, with your help, we can reopen and once again serve the community that welcomed us with open arms.
If you’re able to donate, we are deeply grateful. If not, simply sharing our campaign with your friends and family would mean just as much and could help us reach someone who is able to support our journey.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our family, our dream, and our passion for sharing authentic Sicilian food. No matter what happens, we will always be grateful for every person who supported Little Etna along the way.
❤️ With love and gratitude,
Your Little Etna Family
