Second Surprise Project!
Sam Malek's 'More Than Coffee' Shop
Sam Malek was born in Cairo, Egypt, with cerebral palsy. His parents were overwhelmed with the miracle of his life when he started breathing shortly after the doctors pronounced him to be a stillborn. This would be the first of many miracles in Sam’s life. He continues to beat the odds and is now a 44-year-old married father of two teenage sons and a business owner. Malek took out a second mortgage on his home in 2007 to purchase the drive-through coffee shop where his mission is to "help challenged people one cup at a time." Sam does so by employing handicapped individuals and letting customers help decide which charitable organization will be the recipient of the coffee shop's benevolence each month.
Sam's hard work, perseverance and success is an inspiration and continues to touch countless lives on a daily basis. He always puts himself and his needs last, constantly serving others and asking nothing in return. Sam's goal is to help those who are challenged and who are in need of our prayers and assistance. He always strives to do God's work and challenges you to pitch in when you can.
While Ty and the designers, local builders Callier Thompson Shea Construction & Design LLC and Consolidated Construction Group Inc. and hundreds of volunteers and workers rebuild the "More Than Coffee" shop to make it more efficient, safe and ADA compliant, the coffee will continue to flow from a temporary location in the same parking lot at 14240 Manchester Rd. and Sam will be spending his time volunteering at the Martirez build.
Your patronage of More Than Coffee is what Sam desires most. You see, every time you stop by and purchase a cup of coffee you help Sam continue his mission. To learn more about Sam and his mission, visit http://morethancoffee.net/
