Lopez de Mexico

Lopez de Mexico A locally owned Mexican restaurant located near historic Commercial Street in beautiful Atchison. He came with his family hoping for a better life in America. S.
(287)

In the early 1900โ€™s, Enrique Lopez came to the United States from Guanajuato, Mexico, he was only 8 years old. Elena Vallejo was born in Horton, Kansas after her family had only been in the U. for a year. Many Mexican families settled in โ€œLittle Mexicoโ€ of Horton to work for the Rock Island Railroad. Enrique and Elena were married in 1934 and are more locally known as Henry & Helen Lopez. Henry b

ecame a crane operator at the local Atchison, KS foundry while Helen was a homemaker, raised seven children and held various jobs. They both were strong in faith & great cooks especially with fresh foods from their garden. In 1995, this restaurant opened to present the food, culture and music of the Lopez & Vallejo families. It is a family business, family owned, family operated and family loved. It is under the personal care of a family member, guaranteeing the reputation the family has earned for treating the customers "like part of the family." Helping to complete the family's recipe of success is the personal atmosphere and warm welcome from familiar employees. Many employees such as food servers and kitchen help, have been working for the family since almost the beginning. Thank you, long-time employees, for your loyalty and commitment to the Lopez family! Equally important are you, the customers, who have been coming to Lopez de Mexico since it opened. Some of you have met here, fallen in love, married and are now bringing your children. Thank you for your loyalty.

๐Ÿšจ PLEASE READ โ€” THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF ATCHISON IS IN CRISIS ๐Ÿšจ

We never wanted to make a post like this, but we have run out of options. Right now, the Humane Society of Atchison is operating in the negative with virtually no funds left to keep our doors open.

At this very moment:
๐Ÿพ 10 dogs still need to be spayed and neutered
๐Ÿพ Over 20 kittens will soon need veterinary care and surgeries
๐Ÿพ We have 3 mama cats currently caring for babies
๐Ÿพ Another pregnant mama cat is about to give birth to an entire litter
๐Ÿพ One of our dogs suffered a stroke and desperately needs medical attention that we simply cannot afford

On top of the animals needing care, we have no money left for basic necessities:
โ€ข Gas
โ€ข Electricity
โ€ข Water
โ€ข Insurance
โ€ข Daily operating costs

To make matters worse, a kind supporter accidentally donated $1,000 when they only intended to donate $10. While we are incredibly grateful for their generosity and honesty, that money has to be reimbursed โ€” leaving us in an even more devastating position financially.

Without immediate help, we may be forced to:
โš ๏ธ Cut employee hours
โš ๏ธ Close early and reduce days open
โš ๏ธ Or permanently shut our doors

And if that happens, these animals lose their safe place. The abandoned, neglected, injured, pregnant, scared, and unwanted animals in our community will have nowhere to go.

This shelter is not just a building. It is their second chance.

We are asking our community to come together now more than ever. Whether itโ€™s $5, $10, sharing this post, donating supplies, or helping sponsor a spay/neuter appointment โ€” every single thing matters right now.

Please do not scroll past us. These animals cannot speak for themselves, so we are begging for them.

If you can help, donate, share, or reach out to us directly. You can donate through PayPal ([email protected]), by mail, or in person. These are the fastest ways to get the funds to us, for immediate use. You may donate on this post, but it does take about a month for us to receive it.

Time is running out, and we are trying with everything we have to save this shelter and the lives depending on it. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’” #๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’”
