Hello! My name is Vladislav. Until recently, I had a comfortable life, a job I loved, and my own home. But because of the war, I lost everything I'd built over the years. I had to leave the past behind and start anew here in hospitable Lithuania.

Losing a home is painful. But I believe that home is more than just walls. It's a feeling of safety, warmth, and care. I cook professionally and with great love, and for me, food is the best way to give people comfort.

My dream is to open a small, cozy cafe in Vilnius serving home-cooked meals. It will be a place where everyone—locals, displaced people, and students—can enjoy a hot, hearty soup or a favorite home-cooked dish at a fair, affordable price.

Every euro you donate is a brick in the foundation of this establishment. I don't need luxurious interiors; my main focus is on cleanliness, taste, and warmth.

I don't just want to ask for help. I want you to become a part of this place and come visit me! As a thank you for your support, I've prepared gifts:

€15 or more — "Coffee with a Smile": Come visit us after opening! A cup of aromatic coffee and a homemade dessert will be waiting for you absolutely free.

€50 or more — "Heartfelt Homemade Lunch": A certificate for a full three-course lunch (soup, main course, drink) any day the cafe is open.

€150 or more — "Wall of Friends": I'll beautifully decorate one of the cafe's walls and inscribe your name (or the name of your company/loved one) as a sign that without you, this place wouldn't exist.

€500 and up — "Honored Guest": A personalized card that will give you a 10% discount on the entire cafe menu during our first year of operation.

The war took my past life from me, but it couldn't take away my faith in people and my desire to create. Help me build this warm place, which I believe will become a part of home for many of us.

Thank you for your kind hearts and support! See you at the opening of our café!
