Help Cruz Ortiz with medical expenses

Donation protected

Hello, I'm creating this GoFundMe page for former Napa resident, Cruz Ortiz, who is seeking help with her ongoing medical bills.  In March 2020 Cruz was diagnosed with skin cancer and has had surgery, radiation and continues with chemotherapy which means multiple
monthly visits to Kaiser. Cruz moved to Napa in 1971 and raised her daughters, Cynthia  and Elaine, and was happily involved with their
school activities and 4H.  At El Centro and Northwood schools she was a volunteer liaison interpreting for the Spanish speaking families
and later worked at Napa County Public Health as a Bilingual Office Assistant in the California Children's Services program retiring in
2005 upon which time she moved to Hawaii to be involved in the restaurant business with Cynthia.

Cruz, like many, has suffered financial ruin due to the pandemic. The Covid closing of "Lahaina Coolers" a restaurant bar in Maui which she co-owns makes it difficult to pay her many medical co-pay fees.  Please share this page to spread the word as Cruz is well known in Napa.
She would enjoy reading words of support and encouragement from old friends and co-workers and any and all donations are most
welcomed.  Thank you for your help!
