Empowering a Cuban Chef's Fresh Start in America

Empowering a Cuban Chef's Fresh Start in America

Dear Supporters,

We are thrilled to introduce you to our GoFundMe campaign, "Empowering a Cuban Chef's Fresh Start in America: Fueling His Food Truck Dream."

We are rallying behind Yosbanys Fernandez, a talented and dedicated chef who recently arrived in the United States with his family after leaving behind his life and career in Cuba due to the political unrest. Yosbanys' culinary expertise, honed over 22 years of experience and numerous accolades, deserves recognition and support as he embarks on a new culinary journey. With your generous contributions, we aim to raise funds to help Yosbanys purchase a food truck, empowering him to share his passion for cooking and create a better future for himself and his family.

Background:

Yosbanys Fernandez is an exceptional chef with an impressive 22-year culinary career. For over a decade, he served as the Head Chef at the renowned Hotel Velasco in Matanzas, Cuba, where he showcased his culinary talents and earned multiple awards for his outstanding work. Yosbanys' dedication to his craft and his ability to create exquisite dishes have made him a respected figure in the Cuban culinary scene.

Following the Cuban revolt of July 11, 2021, Yosbanys faced a challenging decision. The political unrest forced him to confront a regime that demanded government employees engage in acts of violence against peaceful protesters. Driven by his principles and moral compass, Yosbanys refused to participate, which placed his job and personal safety at risk. Ultimately, he made the courageous choice to leave Cuba, leaving behind his cherished career, family, and everything he had built.

How Your Support Can Make a Difference:

Food Truck Acquisition: We seek to raise funds to empower Yosbanys in purchasing a food truck, a critical asset for launching his culinary venture in the United States. This mobile kitchen will serve as his platform to showcase his culinary expertise, bringing his exceptional Cuban flavors to the local community.

Equipment and Supplies: In addition to the food truck, Yosbanys requires essential kitchen equipment, utensils, and high-quality ingredients to create his signature dishes. By contributing to this campaign, you will ensure that Yosbanys has the necessary tools to deliver outstanding culinary experiences to its customers.

Double the Impact: Yosbanys is not seeking a handout. As a token of appreciation for your support, every dollar donated to this campaign will be matched the amount for food purchases at Yosbanys' food truck. This means that your contribution not only fuels his dream but also provides you with an opportunity to savor the flavors of his delicious Cuban cuisine.

Immortalized Support: As a special thank-you, the names of all the contributors will be prominently displayed on Yosbanys' food truck's website. Your support will forever be recognized as part of the journey that helped Yosbanys establish his culinary presence in America.

Impact and Gratitude:

Yosbanys is not asking for a handout; he is seeking the support and empowerment needed to rebuild his life and pursue his culinary dreams. Your contributions will enable him to continue doing what he loves while creating a better future for his family. By investing in Yosbanys' food truck dream, you are not only helping an exceptional chef but also fostering cultural exchange and adding vibrancy to our local culinary scene.

We express our deepest gratitude for considering a donation to this campaign. Your generosity, coupled with Yosbanys' skill and determination, will make a lasting impact on his journey toward success and provide him with the foundation he needs to thrive in his new home.

Thank you for being a part of this transformative chapter in Yosbanys' life.

Sincerely,

Jose (Yosbany's brother)
