Help Damascus Restaurant Stay Open

 

The pain in Qarquoz' voice was evident when he spoke about the situation, as the generous business owner opened his doors and handed out free meals to the city's less fortunate last year around the holidays.

 

"I'm seeing more homeless people, they're hanging out around the front of the store," said Qarquoz, whose front door was broken at the cafe a week ago. "We notice there's more people here now, it's a very bad time."

 

A few months ago, Qarquoz' van was broken into and his wallet was stolen. The thieves pulled nearly $3,000 from Hussein's account and it has caused him a lot of difficulty and he now fears he could lose his cafe.

 

"We've been very slow because of COVID-19, but I had $2,800 stolen and I can't pay rent for October or November," said Qarquoz. "I'm trying to save my business. I've been giving free food to homeless people, but I can't afford to do this anymore."
