It's not easy to write this note, it's tough, but to continue open in this journey, we must. Our family is asking for your assistance. We have been working for the last year to catch up on rent. Since we're a new business, we don't qualify for any government assistance, and with the increase of all costs in our city ( food costs, utility insurance, and the closure of the street etc.), and losing battles with covid. Then the accident our Dad had with his hand, we're running dry.

We are asking you to help raise these funds, so we can continue to serve you. Our dad Jared and uncle Noe inaugurated El Catrin on November 2019; this will be the 3rd anniversary. We are hopeful that we can stay open many years more to celebrate, to continue the tamales giveaway in the neighborhood and this wonderful legacy that our Dad and Uncle started. Thank you for everything; with love and appreciation, Jamila, Anai, Jaciry, Jared Jr and Abi Velazquez
