I’m starting this account to help Lesly Sifuentes, she wants to help save her mother's business, a family-run shop built in the downtown alleys. Over the years, Lesly's mother has shown incredible strength and encouragement, supporting her family and the community through every challenge. Their business has become a cornerstone for many, offering not just goods and services, but a sense of belonging and hope.

Recently, unforeseen hardships have threatened everything they've worked for. After Covid, and due to ICE raids, the community has been shaken. People are now too scared to come out and support local businesses in Downtown, and the vibrant energy that once filled the alleys has faded. Years of hard work are at risk of being lost if Lesly's mother cannot get enough help to pay for her rent. The family faces the possibility of losing their business, a place that has meant so much to so many.

This fundraiser is a lifeline. The money raised will help Lesly's mother cover her rent, ensuring that her dedication and perseverance do not go to waste. Any amount or contribution can help save this family’s business. When we gather together with love and support, we can ensure that our businesses will not only rise again, but thrive. They can try to strip our families apart and take away our deliveries, but they cannot take away our hearts. Your support means everything to Lesly, her mother, and the community that depends on them.
