Stand With Our Latino Community — Support Families In Need.

Right now, many Latino families; our neighbors, our friends, and the very people who make our communities vibrant and whole are struggling silently. These are not just stories on the sidelines; these are real people whose strength, resilience, and dignity deserve our support.

For over four years, I have gotten to know many of the street vendors in the Fashion District — a dedicated food vendor who’s fed us with her heart and soul, the tamalero with the best tamales and champurado, the señor on the corner with all the fresh fruit and bionicos, the sweet little old lady that walks around the district selling natural juices and so many more like them. But today they are all facing incredible hardship, scared to work, while only trying to provide for their families, or find stability — not because they lack the will, but because of fear and unjust barriers beyond their control. And don't get me wrong, they all still show up, because one thing we have is strong will, nunca nos rajamos!

This fundraiser is for them. They give endlessly, and deserve to be seen and supported in this time.

Let’s show up with love. Let’s give what we can. Let’s remind our Latino community that they are not alone, that they matter deeply, and that we stand with them — today and always.

Every donation will go directly to families in need who are currently unable to work due to fear and injustice. Even if we can help them stay home for a few days it will be a huge accomplishment. Thank you for being part of this act.

With gratitude,

Lesley
