Help for Maria VanAuken's Home Recovery

Tax deductible

Good morning,

I’m Jorge Rivera, Ph.D. Chief Executive. AHC FILMS a division of American Hope Charities, Corp.

I am seeking your support for Maria VanAuken, a valued volunteer who has faced a serious setback. During a severe rainstorm, her home in Smithfield, KY., suffered catastrophic damage after the roof partially collapsed and the foundation sank. Funds will be used to pay for the engineering contractors, as her home insurance claim was disallowed because this event was considered a natural disaster.

Maria's dedication and resilience are exceptional, for over two years she searched the West Coast for her lost brother until she discovered, through a third party, that her brother had died.

Despite facing health challenges at 77, Maria has remained an unwavering pillar of support to our community, dedicating over 2,750 hours to help families in crisis.

She was a key figure in coordinating support for the Capus family after their devastating fire, arranging temporary shelter, organizing food drives, collecting money, and rendering emotional comfort during their recovery time.

Your immediate support can help Maria to recover her home and continue her invaluable work in our community.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference. To donate, please visit our website at https://americanhopecharities.org or click the GoFundMe link above.

Please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions. As a token of our gratitude, we will provide a tax-deductible donation. American Hope Charities is a 501 ( c) ( 3) registered nonprofit founded in 2005.

We thank you in advance for your valuable support.
