Months later tragedy struck.
On the first of April the market burned down and Don Chava lost everything.Las Noticias GDL, a local media outlet, broadcastan interviewin which, with tears in his eyes, the entrepreneur reported that he and his colleagues would have to temporarily relocate due to the severe damage that the market suffered. When Atlas fans heard the news they jumped into action: word spread through social media and they quickly raised funds to support Don Salvador.
Shortly after, the tortería commented through its Facebook:"I want to thank everyone!! friends, family, those from the atlas bar (I feel very proud to wear these colors of supportive people), some Chivas fans, people from other parts of the city and abroad, customers and everyone who joined the cause of economic and moral support. We really do not have words of thanks, you are a very fundamental part of being able to get up and thanks to all of you we are working to give our best again"(SIC).
Those who went for their free cake when the Atlas was champion, are informed that during today's fire in the San Juan de Dios market, Don Salvador's store, was left in ashes and it is not known how many days he will be without work. It is time to repay the good gesture.pic.twitter.com/B5LoEvK94y
