Rebuild Family Owned Bronx Community Pharmacy
Donation protected
My parents have been serving the community of Jerome & Mt. Eden for the past 30 years. Specifically for the past 3 months, they have sacrificed the lives of their employees and themselves working as hard as ever as an essential business in efforts to save as many patients as possible during this COVID-19 Pandemic.
They have over 100 families who count on this establishment being able to run smoothly so that way patients care receive their care, medicine, and any other household products. Other than most if not all sellable items being stolen, at the same time not being open makes it even harder for them to pay their employees in an economy that favors corporate companies. They've already had a rough couple of months due to not being able to serve customers as regular due to the pandemic and this excruciating blow could end their legacy forever.
If you've ever been to this pharmacy you know that LOVE is the ONLY currency my Mom and Dad work on. They literally hand out most of their inventory for free to the community they work in, being that it is already a struggling area.
The events that occurred the night of June 1 could potentially land this Bronx staple in a place where they won't be able to recover.
To be honest, they have been serving that community on that corner of 174 and Morris Avenue for so long, putting in thousands of hours of blood, sweat and tears that we never thought this could happen to us.
We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for any and all contributions to rescue Asencio Pharmacy from this destroyed state.
Rest assure any and all monies that are not used for rebuilding will be donated to other small family-owned businesses in the area and to the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Bless you all and Thank you again.
