Support Isabel & Annabel's Staff After Hurricanes

Dear Friends and Community Members,

My name is Annabel Ramirez, and I am the daughter of the owners of Isabel & Annabel’s Mexican Restaurant in downtown Punta Gorda, Florida. My parents, Juan and Delia Ramirez, opened this restaurant back in 2015 to serve the food they love to the community they love and cherish. This restaurant has become a place where the community feels like family. I have been honored to get to know this wonderful community by working alongside our dedicated staff.

Our beloved restaurant, like many others in our area, has been hit hard by not one, but two devastating hurricanes this season. These back-to-back natural disasters have left our dedicated employees facing significant financial hardships. Many of them are struggling to make ends meet, repair their homes, and provide for their families. Our hardworking staff have worked tirelessly to clean, make repairs, and get the restaurant reopened. Isabel & Annabel’s has been closed since September 26th. Closing for three weeks has been difficult to navigate, but since then, we have had to replace our floors, drywall, and dining tables/chairs. Each day brings new challenges but our staff has continued to persevere during this challenging time.

We are reaching out to our community for support in this time of need. Your generous donations will go DIRECTLY to our hardworking staff to help them rebuild their lives and cover essential expenses such as housing, utilities, and grocery bills. EVERY contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant impact and help our team get back on their feet.

THANK YOU for your kindness and support. We are so grateful for our beloved Punta Gorda community and we look forward to welcoming you all back soon. Together, we can help our restaurant family recover and thrive once again.

With gratitude,

Annabel
