We are saying goodbye...
Our Story
My name is Sung and along with my wife we immigrated to the United
States from Korea in 1996.
We've survived until now by starting multiple small businesses
including a Korean restaurant, frozen yogurt shop, and recently a
Korean Mexican Fusion Food Truck in Seattle and raised our three
beautiful kids in the U.S.
Towards 2011, our frozen yogurt store had gone under and we had
lost everything in bankruptcy. However, due to my son's passion he
was able to start up a Korean Mexican food truck business called
Bomba Fusion in Seattle from his dorm room which he handed off to
us so we could make a living and eventually sell the business to
retire.
Since 2015, my wife and I worked through long hours and also
weekends to make this business grow as much as it can so we can
one day sell the business and retire.
Although we've had many ups and downs we were able to keep the
business growing and in the year 2020, we were on track to have
our best year in terms of both revenue and profits due to our
catering business expanding.
Unfortunately that came to a quick pause when COVID came and
closed all the corporate offices in March of this year. As we are
in our 60s, my son was afraid of how fast COVID was spreading and
sent us to Korea until things got better and we could resume the
business once the offices were open again.
Unfortunately the offices never reopened, and even worse when we
went for a hospital check up in Korea we discovered my wife had a
tumor in her brain due to an aneurysm.
Just when we thought things couldn't be worse, it turned out she
needed a brain surgery otherwise she would be in critical
condition.
I'm glad to say the surgery went well and due to the good health
care system in Korea, the cost of the surgery wasn't something
that was too outrageous.
However, we are still in a position right now where we are forced
to shut down our business and my wife is no longer able to work
due to her health condition which forces us into retirement.
My son has supported us with much of our current bills and costs
but without much in savings it puts us in a difficult
situation.
Normally we would not be in a position to reach out for help but
due to our current situation we would appreciate any help towards
our way.
Thank you for your time if you read through this post and we hope
you all stay safe during these times.
May God Bless You.
Sung Yu.
