Stacey’s Donuts

08/20/2025

💌 Dear Dough Buddiez,

God has shown me that donuts aren’t in my “right now,” but the time we shared will always mean the world to me. Thank you for being my support through that season of entrepreneurship. 🙏🏽💛

I want to encourage you: always follow God, even when His plans look different from yours. Our memories together will always be here to revisit. For those moving on, I understand & thank you deeply. For those staying connected—exciting things ahead! 🎬✨

I’m fundraising to direct/produce my first short film (gofundme link is below), Daddy’s Here (a poet healing and mourning the loss of her abstinent and estranged father through spoken word), AND teaching a FREE 10-week youth acting workshop at the YMCA Southeast (6 mile ln) starting Sept 6th (will be accepting 20 children)

I encourage you to please always Cherish the moments—we created something special. 🥂

With love,
Erica

Hey Dough Buddiez! I’m sure missing you all! And not a day goes by until I can serve you all tasty treats again! In the meantime of my wait, I’ve been thinking of ways to serve those who are less fortunate in my community. If anyone has any of these items, or would like to purchase them, I can meet up with you. My plan is to make up small necessities bags and pass them out to those whom are living on the streets. I’m collecting items this week and looking to pass out next Sunday! If interested please inbox me and I can make arrangements to meet you. I do hope and pray all is well, may God bless us all!

Looking for these items: Fun Size toothbrushes/toothpastes/mouth wash, sanitary napkins, small hand sanitizer, wipes, water, snacks (peanut butter crackers, cheese it’s, trail mix, etc)

Dough Buddiez! Oh how I miss thee! I enjoy seeing you all through out the city and I wish I could serve you all donuts 🍩 right now. I do apologize it’s taking longer than I expected but with being an entrepreneur and a business owner, you have to be practical as much as you have to be a dreamer. Truth of the matter it isn’t easy securing $150k and an accessible location where I can serve a little bit of everybody. But what I have been doing is clearing up thousands in credit, perfected my business proposal plan, constantly researching and applying for grants and donations and loans, and planned my menu (a lot of oldies with some newbies). So many obstacles and hurdles to overcome and I’m built for the rejections, however I know one day you all will hear me say “IT’S TIME TO MAKE THE DONUTS”. So keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I hope to serve you all soon 🫶🏾💜🍩

Hey Dough Buddiez! Wanna say Happy Holidays and I do hope is well! Hoping everyone is cherishing moments with family, getting some shopping done and most importantly hoping everyone is taking care of that mental!

Update things are progressing for us slowly but surely, we have had some set ups and set backs but we are still working our hardest to return back to you all, with delectable donuts and bringing you all a great vibe!

All I ask, is Dough Buddiez, please DONUT forget about us as I have not forgotten about you! Take care to all, and May God continue to bless us all 🫶🏾🍩💜

Hi Dough Buddiez! I need your help!

It’s hard to talk about, and I am in therapy, but now is the time! This year will be my first year walking in honor of Su***de Awareness, many years ago I struggled with whether I end my own life or not. In 2020 was my last suicidal attempt (I closed my donut shop down for a week due to this). It’s not really mentioned in the black community, but if I can advocate for it, I will. Since this is my first walk, I vowed to raise $150 dollars for the cause. If you are interested in donating, please click this link, donate, but don’t just donate, become well knowledge on this issue, for you never know if you need to save a life, or if it’ll be your life that needs to be saved 🫶🏾




And if you can’t donate, join the walk in honor of someone you may know who struggles with this 🫶🏾🫶🏾

Please support the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention to help save lives and bring hope to those affected by su***de. Donate or register to walk!

I’ll talk to you soon Dough Buddiez! Can’t wait til y’all see where we are at next 🫶🏾
