My name is Halyna. I came to Canada from Ukraine with my two children, escaping the war and starting life from zero in a new country.
Back home, cooking was always a part of my life — for my family, for friends, for people who trusted my hands and my food. After arriving in Canada, I turned this skill into real work. I now prepare homemade Ukrainian food and smoked meats, selling through Facebook Marketplace. I already have real customers, repeat orders, and positive reviews. This is not just an idea — it is a working business with proven demand.
My dream is to open a small family-owned Ukrainian restaurant — a warm place with honest homemade food and a feeling of home. A place not only for Ukrainians, but for anyone who values real taste, tradition, and food made with care.
The funds raised will be used for startup essentials: equipment, supplies, permits, and initial setup costs. This campaign gives me the opportunity to build a stable future for my children through honest work and dedication.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who chooses to support me. Your help is more than financial — it is a belief in a woman who refused to give up and is rebuilding her life in a new country.
