From Heartbreak to Hope: Help The Bay's #1 Nachos Rise Again

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Anthony, a proud cook and single parent, passionate about making the best nachos in the Bay Area. I built my small business from the ground up, pouring my heart, savings, and soul into creating a food experience that brought people together and brought smiles to their faces.

But on January 1st, 2025, tragedy struck. My work van and trailer were stolen, containing not only my cooking equipment and supplies but also all my personal belongings and the savings I had worked tirelessly to build for my family. Everything I need to keep my business alive, my main saurce of income and to provide for my children was taken from me in an instant.

As a parent, my greatest motivation has always been to create a stable and loving future for my four kids. As a cook, my dream is to continue sharing the flavors and joy of my nachos with this amazing community that has supported me over the years.

Now, I find myself starting from scratch. I need to replace my van, my cooking equipment, and the trailer that made it possible to serve at events, markets, and gatherings across the Bay Area. I’m humbly asking for your support to help me rebuild my business and continue providing for my family.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in helping me get back on my feet. Together, we can bring back the Bay’s best nachos and show that even in the face of adversity, community and kindness can help us rise again.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support.
