Keep Fay’s Cooking – Help Save a Saskatchewan Treasure

- Media Release, GoFundMe

July 7, 2025

Every day, she’s up early to cook homestyle breakfasts, burgers, and full meals for whoever walks through her door. Bacon, eggs, toast, potatoes, jam, peanut butter, and a smile — all for just $12.95.

But like many small-town restaurants, times are tough. Fay doesn’t want help — she doesn’t ask. But we’re asking on her behalf.

Why we’re raising funds:

Fay’s natural gas has been shut off because she owes $4,000 in unpaid bills. That means it’s much harder to cook and serve the community she’s dedicated her life to.

This isn’t about charity. This is about community. About honouring someone who has spent her life feeding others, keeping a beloved little diner alive when most would have given up decades ago.

If 200 people donate just $20, we can wipe out the utility debt and keep the griddle hot. We are raising a bit more to get her through the year. ," reads the GoFundMe fundraising appeal launched by Justin Waloshin.

The goal is to raise $4,500, and $3925 has already been raised.
