**behind the scenes of the ice cream maker Jaime

There's a quote that says, "Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness and kindness never decrease by being shared.”

We've always strived to be a light for our community, and we hope you feel that kind of warmth every time you walk through our doors at La Monarka.

Hi La Monarka community,

we want to share something personal with the people who have become so much more than customers to us—you are family.

As a family of faith, we are leaning fully into God and trusting that He is in control. Yet, if we are being completely honest, walking through this has been one of the heaviest seasons of our lives. It has been an emotional rollercoaster and, at times, completely overwhelming to process.

We are sharing this from a place of pure love, not for sympathy, but to invite you into this part of our hearts. You have stood by our side with so much love since the very first day.

Though this chapter is incredibly heavy for us, we find so much comfort in knowing we aren't walking it alone. We want to gently invite you to hold us close through a very sweet cause. To ensure Jaime is fully supported during his hospital stay and the treatments ahead, 100% of our profits at La Monarka will go directly to him and his medical care.

As we navigate this road, things at the shop might not always be perfect, and we appreciate your grace and understanding in advance. We are endlessly thankful for our amazing team, who continue to show up every single day with so much love and dedication.

Please keep Jaime in your daily prayers for complete healing, and lift our family up for peace, strength, and guidance. We don’t know what tomorrow brings, but we rest in the comfort that God will carry us through. Thank you for standing firmly by our side. 🤍🙏

As Jaime begins his treatment, we gently ask for your prayers. Please also lift up our family—asking for God's warm peace to quiet our minds, strength for each day, and His loving guidance for the road ahead.

Sunday, September 20 from 10:00AM–9:00PM,
We’re having a very special day at Paleteria La Monarka for a cause that is incredibly close to our hearts.

On Sunday, 100% of ’ our profits will go to Jaime.
