My Dad has had an extremely challenging 6 years. There is a bigger and more emotionally charged back story here, but in short he has worked all of his life (from 16 to 59), started off as a Chef, retrained in his 30s to become a HR Manager with a big UK University where he remains to this day. He has unfortunately met serious financial challenges in recent years through no fault of his own, and has subsequently lost his passion and ambition to take semi retirement and set up a small kitchen based business of his own. He is a shade of the man he used to be and this is in part down to my previous health and addiction problems (which thankfully are now resolved, but have left a massive emotional and financial scar on my Dad). He has taken multiple remortgages and cashed in all of his pensions just to get by and survive. He now has nothing and no retirement safety net, or any rainy day funds. Nothing would mean more than to help him reignite his dream and his passion for food, and in turn allow him to have some sort of quality retirement that he actually deserves, given his years of selflessness to the family and years of honest work.
His idea was always to take semi retirement (6 years ago) and set up a small local business to produce pre made mother sauce base recipes in jars or packets, so people can purchase them. They would all be made using fresh ingredients. They would be incredibly affordable, so people can learn and educate themselves about basic but fundamental cooking techniques.
We have costed this and it would take around £1000.00 to get this going.
Each person who pledges will receive a 30-day pack of the mother sauces along with a hand written letter of thanks.
We want our Dad back, please help us achieve this 🤝👍
