Claudia López Relief Fund

My name is Tess Werner (Daughter to Gatlinburg Mayor Mike Werner) and I am a native to Gatlinburg, TN. I am trying to help my friend Claudia Nohomi Valladares López and her two children (ages 2 and 4) who lost their home to the wildfires that swept through Gatlinburg on Monday, November 28th. Claudia lost everything in the wildfires and did not have insurance. Claudia is in immediate need of financial assistance for rebuilding and replacing their lives. Claudia is a single mum to her two children and they are temporarily staying in a hotel room. Claudia lost all her clothes, her children’s clothes and all their belongings. Claudia is in desperate need of a permanent home for her and her children to feel safe and secure. She goes out daily trying to find something better. However, she hasn’t had much luck.
 
I assure you the funds will be used to help Claudia find a permanent place to stay and to replace her clothing, personal and household goods that were lost in the wildfire. Once we have recieved enough money for Claudia to pay her rent and utilities deposit. I will personally deliver her the money raised for her to use for these things. As well as, any extra money we raise to go towards clothing, personal items, and household goods.

The family is in immediate need of financial assistance for rebuilding and replacing their lives. They will probably still be rebuilding for a few years. Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers and donations. 

Thank you!

Tess Werner
