Rojo, the beloved neighborhood restaurant on Highland Avenue, is seeking some assistance after a water line break has shut down the popular eatery since Thursday, April 30th.

On Sunday morning, the restaurant set up a Go Fund Me campaign to help support the staff.

The fund was set up after numerous customers encouraged their followers on social media to support the restaurant which is known for its Latin and American cuisine, atmosphere and philanthropy

Below is the Go Fund Me Campaign, which describes the status of the water line break and how you can support their staff.

The temporary closure also occurred at an inopportune time — during  graduation weekend at UAB and Samford.
