Sweet Release Cakes and Treats needs your help to stay open. We have worked too damn hard and have been through too much to let this get in the way of our dreams.
We need your help to "finish the kitchen" located behind our store.
Sweet Release was started after I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, I had never really baked before and it became my escape from my illness that has caused me to be homebound for 8 months on my first year, another 6months in my third year and then eventually had no option but to have radiation to sort out the symptoms. I continued with my newfound passion of baking which became very popular and gave birth to Sweet Release.
We have recently started free baking classes for sick people which is supported by Journey of Hope, we donate our goods to the Soup Kitchen and support other charities that have come our way. Our work with Journey of Hope is just beginning and it is gut wrenching to think of all the people we could have helped through our shop. You can read more about this here: http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/65813004/finding-her-sweet-release-through-baking
We need about $9K to "finish" the kitchen but as we have a very short amount of time and PledgeMe is only successful if we reach our target, we are going to put this at $3K as anything would be great help.
Please check out our rewards and spread the word to help us with our battle.

Hi everyone
Thank you so much for making it possible to reach our target within 24hours. You guys are amazing!! We set the goal to $3K as it was more attainable in a 4 day campaign than what we needed which was $9K in total. Every pledge helps. We cannot thank you enough for your support.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much
