For over 20 years, Leyda has been the heart and soul of our market, serving up delicious Italian entrées and fresh deli dishes to countless customers. Those of us who have worked alongside her for two decades, have seen firsthand her dedication and hard work behind the scenes. Through holidays, busy seasons, and everyday meals, Leyda has always shown up for all of us, pouring her love and skill into every dish.

Now, Leyda is facing an incredibly difficult diagnosis: lung cancer that has spread to her brain. As she begins treatment, she will need time away from work to focus on her health and healing. Medical costs, transportation to appointments, and lost income are adding up quickly, and the financial burden is overwhelming.

We are hoping to raise funds to help ease this burden so Leyda can concentrate on treatment and recovery. If Leyda has ever fed you or helped you, this is a chance to give back. Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Thank you for supporting one of our own.
