Pablos Mexican small business affected by COVID19

Pablo's Mexican Grill & Cantina had to close in March and do take-out only due to the essential business shut down order from the State of Wisconsin. Because of this, the owners (Pablo & Claudia) are unable to make their monthly rent and utilities bills. Pablo and Claudia are a truly inspirational couple that embodies what the American dream really is and they have worked so hard to see it come true, only to have it decimated in two months due to COVID 19. 

Claudia and Pablo have been active members of the St. Paul Luthern church since moving here from their home country of Guatemala for over a decade. Both have been active in the community by teaching classes in Taikwando, aerial dance, and yoga to schoolage child and teenagers. After moving here they both completed the English program at NWTC and helped translate for local officials and numerous families in the area. Both Claudia and Pablo are active volunteers with the YMCA Community Center of De Pere, Curves, and the summer Parks and Recreation programs in the area. Their business has served as a staple for other small businesses trying to get off the ground and they were one of the first to petition Brown County for a dog-friendly patio so that patrons of their business could enjoy their delicious food in the company of their best friends. 

Claudia and Pablo have raised their two children in the Green Bay community: both have become active and productive members of the community. Their beautiful daughter is currently working as a nurses assistant on the front lines of the COVID19 pandemic sweeping the Brown County area. Their son, Pablito, is currently enrolled in business school through the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and successfully finished his first year with flying colors.  During Pablito's first year at UWGB, he helped create the program, "Without a Roof", which strives to provide services to the homeless community in the Green Bay area. Pablito is an active volunteer at Camp Bird as a counselor for school age children.

The family is truly an institution in Brown County.

We know that every small business is going through an incredibly difficult time in Brown County. We truly appreciate any support you can give and God bless this fantastic community.
