Yessy's Store |
The beginning of 2019, we visited a family living in the poorest neighborhood of Cabo. Jesse and her husband Reyes has just moved to Cabo San Lucas and were looking to get involved with our community center we built close to their home. Jesse, the wife, was hard working and always wanted to open up a poultry shop. Raoul gave her a vision to start a store, while also selling her chickens and eggs and even develop into a restaurant in the future. The vision was big for Jesse, but she was up for it!
We visited their home and made plans on where to build the store. We also helped Jesse and Reyes build a more secure home to withstand the strong rains and storms that pass through this neighborhood causing major flooding and devastation. We helped provide Jesse and her husband the supplies and tools and resources they needed to build and we began in Spring of 2019 finishing construction in the summer before the heavy rains came.

Within weeks of constructing the store, 18 products were on the shelves and Jesse began selling. Raoul taught her everything from how to sell, build relationships with providers, how to manage inventory, how to grow, and stayed with her every step of the way. Soon Jesse's store exploded with customers.
With a vision and hard work, we helped Jesse and her husband thrive especially at a time when Covid-19 put many in Cabo out of work. Jesse and her husband are now expanding and planning to open up a restaurant next year. They is very grateful for all the help. Jesse continues to put into practice everything she has learned and with her hard work, her store grows more and more with every visit.
Below is a testimony of Jesse sharing her story of how the store began and where it is today. |
