Hi everyone. This is really hard for me to write, but I’m doing it because my mom and our family need help. My mom started our salsa company 12 years ago as a single mom, just trying to take care of me and my six siblings. I grew up watching her work nonstop—late nights, early mornings, doing everything she could to build something for our family. All of us kids grew up helping in whatever way we could, and over the years, what started as a small family dream turned into something our whole community came to love.

This business isn’t just salsa to us. It’s the people we’ve hired, the fundraisers we’ve supported, the local events we’ve shown up for, and the friends and neighbors who depend on this job to pay their bills. It’s our life. Right now, our business is going through a really scary time. We’re in a serious cash crunch, and even though my mom is doing everything she can to secure investment and keep things going, those things take time we don’t have. Without immediate help, we could be forced to cut our product line and workforce. Saying that out loud honestly breaks my heart.

I’m asking our community, from the bottom of my heart, if you can help us. Any support through our GoFundMe would make sure our employees—people we care about deeply—can keep working and providing for their families. If you’ve ever loved our salsa, supported our business, or believe in small family-owned companies, please know how much your help would mean to us. Even sharing this means more than you know. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with my family during one of the hardest moments we’ve ever faced.
