Some of you might have seen the article on October 23, 2012 in the Red Deer Advocate explaining the tragic situation for a parent of in our member Mandy's school community.
The father has been diagnosed with cancer and has no medical coverage.
The family is in need and the Latino community is putting on a fundraiser at St. Patrick's School to help pay for his treatment.
All families are welcome to purchase traditional Pupusas for only $2.00 each or a donation.
What is a Pupusa? Wikipedia states
A pupusa (Spanish pronunciation: [puˈpusa], from Pipil pupusaw) is a traditional Salvadoran dish made of a thick, handmade corn tortilla (made using masa de maíz, a maize flour dough used in Latin American cuisine) that is usually filled with a blend of the following:
- cheese (queso) (usually a soft cheese called Quesillo found in all Central America)
- cooked pork meat ground to a paste consistency (called chicharrón, not to be confused with fried pork rind, which is also known as chicharrón in some other countries)
- refried beans (frijoles refritos), or queso con loroco (loroco is a vine flower bud from Central America).
Come and join the community and support this family in need.
