Brother's Deceased Body Transport to Guatemala

Donation protected
Guillermo Joj, my oldest brother, founder of Pomona's Guasalmex restaurant passed away on February 22, 2021 due to COVID-19. He leaves behind 6 brothers and sisters.

He left his native country of Guatemala in 1985 to pursue the American Dream. In 1997, after many years in the hotel industry, he started his own Restaurant, offering food from Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador. This restaurant has become a staple to the community of Pomona.

Guillermo was a straight forward kind of guy. His work ethic was one of a kind and his creative passion for recipes was admired by many.

His only wish was to some day retire in Guatemala. My goal is to take him back so our family can offer him a proper funeral.

Unfortunately, as for many, COVID-19 damaged our business and personal finances. These funds will support transportation and administrative costs.

Any amount helps and the entire Joj Family will be eternally grateful.

Sincerely,

Miguel Joj (Brother)

Guillermo Joj, mi hermano mayor y dueño del Restaurante Guasalmex en Pomona fallecio el 22 de febrero del 2021. Esto, despues de perder la lucha contra el COVID 19. El ha dejado atras a 6 hermanas y hermanos.

Salió de su querido país, Guatemala en 1985, como muchos, buscando el sueño americano. En 1997, él abrió su propio restaurante, despues de varios años en la industria de hoteles. Su restaurante ofrece exquisitas recetas Mexicanas, Guatemaltecas y Salvadoreñas. Este restaurante ha sido aceptado y apoyado grandemente por la comunidad de Pomona.

Guillermo era una persona directa y al punto. Era muy trabajador y creativo con sus recetas. Muchos lo admirabamos.

Su unico deseo fue algún dia juvilarse en Guatemala. Mi meta es llevar su cuerpo a Guatemala para que la familia se despida de el.

Desafortunadamente, como a muchos, el COVID 19 arruino nuestras finanzas personales y del negocio. Fondos recaudados apoyaran gastos de transporte y administración.

Cualquier cantidad será de mucha ayuda. La Familia Joj se quedara eternamente agradecida.

Con Agradecimiento,

Miguel Joj (Hermano)
