ORIGINAL POST!

We are facing hard times because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but people in need are being hit harder. Is for this reason that I decided to start donating one Guatemalan tamal to children in need or that are being affected because of the schools closures, and help them to don't have to worry where to get food from. However, customers showed up today to the cafe and bought tamales from us to donate them ourselves to others. After seeing this gesture of kindness, I decided to come up with this request and ask you to help us funding 120 tamales to donate to others.

I need you to help me funding 80 tamales and we will donate 40 for a total of 120 tamales for children that are in the meals assistance program.  We will be serving them at our shop no questions asked, and also dropping off tamales to our neighborhood organizations to help us feed as many as possible. 

Every 10 dollars will fund 6 tamales!

Thank you all for your support and allowing us to help our community!!!

Best Regards,
Hector Danilo Mejia Zamora.
