Dear Tisoy Family,

We are Matthew and Ornella, the owners and operators of Tisoy Curryative Cuisines. As many of you know, we proudly cater and pop up at local market events, sharing our passion for food with our community.

On May 23rd, while at an event in Perris, CA, we were struck by a sudden tornado. Amid the chaos of helping fellow vendors, I (Matthew) was knocked down by the forceful winds and suffered a dislocated knee. Moments later, our tent was completely destroyed.

Sadly, much of what we prepared—our food, our setup, our products—was lost that day. Everything we had worked so hard to bring to life was scattered and ruined.

We are deeply shaken, but our hearts are full of gratitude for our Made Local family, who rushed to our aid during such a terrifying and overwhelming moment.

Our hearts are heavy, but we remain hopeful because of this community. Thank you for your generosity, your love, and your continued support as we begin to rebuild.

With love and gratitude,

Matthew & Ornella
