Hello, my name is Enrique the Co Owner of Borinquen Lunch Box. This is the last thing I expected to do but I'm running out options. This week we are celebrating our 10 years anniversary and we been blessed with all your support. But the last 2 years with the pandemic is been very hard and challenging with the last 6 month been the hardest. With the inflation, food prices rising from 25% to 50% on some products the business hasn't pick up enough to justify the food and operations cost. But we don't want to give up even with my health. But the reality is sinking in and if we do not come up with at least $10,000 dollars by the end of the month we will have no choice but to shut down Borinquen Lunch Box. And will the most heart breaking thing I have to do since this is been the most rewarding job I ever had. And not just because I love cooking but because thru this journey I had met a lot of wonderful people who has supportedus throughout this past 10 years..Before the pandemic everything was going right and we were getting ready to buy and open a restaurant. But we have to put it in hold. And after this past two years we had used every asset we had to keep Borinquen Lunch Box running. So I'm going to swallow my pride and ask for your help and hopping to save Borinquen Lunch Box. I know this is a lot to ask but anything that can help with we will be forever grateful. Thank you! God Bless You!
