Hello, my name is Bria Morales, and I’m a culinary professional at Eddie V’s in Princeton. Our beloved friend and coworker, Mateo Jairo, recently lost everything in a devastating fire. In just one night, Mateo and his family were left without a home or belongings.

We’re coming together as a team to support him during this unimaginable time. Your donation — no matter the amount — will help provide immediate relief for essentials and unexpected expenses. All contributions will go through Darden Dimes, which will match the funds to multiply the support for Mateo and his family.

I will be withdrawing the funds and providing them to our coworker in cash, since they cannot access their bank account.
