<div>Support Daniel in His Battle for Recovery After Emergency Brain Surgery

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Life can change in an instant. On December 7, 2024, our beloved friend, brother, and business owner of Little Tokyo Nikkei Cuisine, faced a sudden, life-threatening emergency — a complex and unexpected brain surgery that left his family, friends, and business community in shock. Daniel is not just a business owner; he is the heart, soul, and backbone of Little Tokyo, a place that many of us call our second home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For those who know Daniel, you know him as a hardworking, generous, and dedicated person who gives his all to his family, restaurant, friends, and community. Little Tokyo is NOT just a business — it’s a reflection of his passion, perseverance, and love for his work and community. He shows up every day with a smile, ready to serve others, never asking for anything in return. But today, he’s the one who needs us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On December 7, 2024, Daniel was rushed to the hospital for emergency brain surgery after doctors discovered a critical condition that could not be delayed. The procedure was intense, and while we are grateful that he is still with us, his road to recovery is long and uncertain. He now faces a journey filled with post-surgery treatment, medical care, and rehabilitation.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While Daniel fights to regain his health, the financial burden on his restaurant and family is growing. Brain surgery is one of the most complex and costly medical procedures, and the hospital bills, post-surgical care, and ongoing treatment are overwhelming. As the main provider for his family and the leader of Little Tokyo Sushi Nikkei, his absence from work has deeply affected his family’s financial stability and the daily operations of his beloved business.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is why we are asking for your help.

</div>

<div>We are coming together as family, friends, and community members to lift up Daniel and ensure he receives the care and support he needs to recover fully. Every dollar raised will go directly toward: 

</div>

<div>•	Hospital fees and surgery costs

</div>

<div>•	Post-operative medical care and rehabilitation

</div>

<div>•	Support for his restaurant while he is unable to work

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How You Can Help? 

</div>

<div>If you’ve ever visited Little Tokyo, shared a meal there, or simply know Daniel as a kind, hardworking soul, now is your chance to give back. No contribution is too small — every dollar makes a difference. If you’re unable to donate, we understand. Please  help us by sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Together, we can provide Daniel with the support, love ❤️ and strength he needs to recover. He has shown up for us for few years, and now it’s our turn to show up for him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s come together for Daniel

</div>

<div>and Little Tokyo Sushi Nikkei.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Donate today, share this campaign, and help us keep hope alive. ✨
