The drop was precipitous. By late April things reached “a point where we were like, if we don’t get more customers or cash, we’re going to close on Monday,” she recalls.
A federal loan arrived in early May, providing enough money for eight weeks of payroll. In the months that followed, additional loans and grants and Yuca’s fast-footed adaptations to pandemic restrictions kept the business alive, though the stress remained.

On Saturday, faithful Catholics all over the community got together in their respective homes and churches to celebrate the Virgin of Guadalupe on her day of feast.
Every year, the Gateway City’s parishioners and believers of the virgin attend church for a special mass in her honor that features matachines who dance in a ritualistic style to celebrate the Virgin of Guadalupe. This year, due to the pandemic, things were very different here and in the sister city of Nuevo Laredo.
In Laredo, the festivities were restricted to some extent by the Catholic Diocese of Laredo, which has restricted church attendance to just certain percentage of parishioners.
