Santa Ana couple Marisol Magaña and Andrew Roa are going viral for helping their neighborhood street vendor after taking over a shift at her elote, raspado, and snack cart.
Last weekend, Magaña said they stopped Lina, the local vendor, as she was visiting her parents' house. They wanted to support her, so after missing her the first time she passed by, they caught up with her and bought esquites (corn in a cup) and other snacks.
It was here that Magaña and Roa, both of whom come from a background of immigrant grandparents and parents, learned how much the vendor had been struggling since federal police began their raids in the city.
