Friends, relatives and close associates of Tiburcio Castillo have come together from all over New York and even from Mexico to support his family.
There are three pages created to raise funds through Gofundme and one led by the Quatorze restaurant, where he worked, already has more than five hundred donations.
“Tibu’ was a sweetheart. She came to work every day with a smile. I never heard him complain, he worked tirelessly six days a week to support his family,” said Alex McNeice, Quatorze restaurant manager.
In addition to the GoFundMe page, the restaurant is organizing a special day for Friday, July 15.
“All sales will go to the Tibu’ family, both for lunch and dinner, and those who cannot come to the restaurant are invited to make a donation through the Gofundme we’ve created,” added McNeice.
