Hurricane Ida Disaster – Go Fund Me
Hurricane Ida is going to become the biggest battle VRC has had to face since moving to Louisiana. In California it was Santa Ana winds and the wildfires. Although they have been through other hurricanes since 2011, and flooding on a regular basis, Hurricane Ida disaster coming in at a high end Category 4 hurricane will test their strength.
Aside from that, they have not filmed since last year, not been on TV since last April and have been struggling with donations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. VRC is struggling right now. Apparently, we will not be able to sustain the expense of the predicted damages to come. Also, Tia Maria Torres will not be able to continue “hustling” on a daily basis for donations, fundraising, grants, etc. They all will be without power for a while, but they are going to be putting their lives back together for several weeks to come. They are not going to make it without all of you. They are scared. Please help them.
