Fernando and Pilar Valerio have been the heart of Hermosa Beach for nearly three decades, running La Paz restaurant and welcoming generations of families through their doors. Their dedication to great food and community has made them a beloved staple in the area. They have always greeted everyone with warmth and generosity.

A few years ago, Fernando and Pilar faced a difficult challenge when they were targeted for ADA law compliance. Together with their landlord, they invested significant time and resources to make the necessary changes and ensure La Paz was accessible to all. During that time, they went through their savings trying to keep the restaurant open. Unfortunately, they are now being targeted once again for similar ADA compliance issues. The financial burden of legal fees and additional required updates is overwhelming, and they need our help to keep their restaurant open and compliant.

The money raised will go directly toward covering legal expenses and making any further improvements needed for ADA compliance. By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping Fernando and Pilar continue their legacy in Hermosa Beach and ensuring that La Paz remains a welcoming place for everyone. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign—your support will make a real difference for a family that has given so much to our community.
