Amy Zuber, of Arch and Willow, organised the event to support Miki Craven, 27, who has been recovering from a rare brain condition, acute cerebellitis.
Ms Craven was diagnosed just weeks before Christmas in 2022.
The mother-of-two, along with her baby who she was breastfeeding, was taken to The Royal Melbourne Hospital after experiencing what she thought was food poisoning symptoms.
"So many people showed up on Saturday buying coffees, purchasing raffle tickets, donating and just showing up and supporting in any way they could," Ms Zuber said.
