Rosita Young and her husband have owned Long Boat Jewelry on Grant Street for almost 40 years. After a lifetime of providing fine jewelry from Hong Kong, the store was the victim of a smash-and-grab style burglary on November 15. $250,000 of merchandise was stolen in the space of 3 minutes. They will have to absorb the entire  loss by themselves. As a result Rosita and her husband are forced to go out of business.

 

Increasing violence against Asian American people and businesses, rising costs, and a downturn in tourism is hurting our community, and people like Rosita and her husband. Let's support this Chinatown business so it can continue to thrive in San Francisco.
