Restore Hope for Catalina After Disaster

Donation protected

During the chaos of Helene, Catalina Ortiz lost her home in Swannanoa while visiting loved ones in Mexico, leaving her with nothing to come back to. Her coworkers want to help out by coming together and creating this GoFundMe for her, as she is unable to return home for the time being.

More about Catalina:
Doña Cata (as her friends and family like to call her) is a 73-year-old woman who previously worked in hospitality as a housekeeper in Asheville, NC. She recently sustained a knee injury, which caused a setback in her career. Doña Cata has a deep love for sewing and crocheting and would do so for her friends and family for extra money on the side to help maintain her living. This stream of income has now been taken away from her due to the loss of her things and her home. Doña Cata enjoyed making fresh bread in her house to share with her community. She's always been light-hearted and filled with sarcastic humor. Her loss has hurt many in her community, and they hope this reaches the right people who can share or donate to allow the process of helping Catalina recover from the disaster.

Más información sobre Catalina:
Doña Cata (como a sus amigos y familiares les gusta llamarla) es una mujer de 73 años que antes trabajaba en el sector de housekeeping en Asheville, Carolina del Norte. Recientemente sufrió una lesión de rodilla que supuso un revés en su carrera. Doña Cata es una gran aficionada a la costura y el ganchillo, y solía hacerlo para sus amigos y familiares a cambio de un dinero extra que le ayudaba a subsistir. Esta fuente de ingresos le ha sido arrebatada por la pérdida de sus cosas y de su casa. Doña Cata disfrutaba haciendo pan fresco en su casa para compartirlo con su comunidad. Siempre ha sido desenfadada y llena de humor sarcástico. Su pérdida ha dolido a muchos en su comunidad, y esperan que esto llegue a las personas adecuadas que puedan compartir o donar para permitir el proceso de ayudar a Catalina a recuperarse del desastre.
