Please help sponsor true love and big dreams!

I’m James, a 6th generation Lord Howe Islander, barista, builder of things, and believer in better.

Jim’s Café began with a simple mission: make good coffee and serve my community. Along the way, I faced heavy-handed restrictions, battled addiction, chronic pain, and crushing anxiety. I nearly gave up. But I didn’t.

Instead, I taught myself to code, and built TownCenter, a free tech platform designed to elevate the visitor experience. I slowly rebuilt my life.

Now, a new chapter calls. I’ve found love on the other side of the world and I’m ready to grow even more, for myself, my future family, and this island.

Your support helps me:

• Follow my heart to Portugal ❤️

• Finish my Computer Science degree 👨‍💻

• Grow TownCenter into something truly successful 🌍

• Surprise my deserving girlfriend with a beautiful new handbag 👜

Your $5/week or more makes a big difference.
Thank you for supporting true love and big dreams.
