Diane Falkenhagen on CERF+:
I had known about CERF+ since its inception and was an occasional supporter. I gave because I admired CERF+’s mission to aid craft artists in distress, and because I knew of artists who had been genuinely helped by CERF+. But despite living on an island, I never imagined that I would find myself on the receiving end of CERF+’s charity. In September of 2008 Hurricane Ike changed that by literally turning my world upside down. As the hurricane came ashore it flooded my home and studio with five feet of salt water, destroying thousands of dollars in studio equipment and infrastructure.
One thing that I learned from Ike is that word travels through the artistic community faster than a hurricane! Within days of the disaster – before I could even think about asking for help, CERF+ became aware of my plight and sought me out to offer unsolicited help. I had never been so touched.
In the months following the storm, CERF+ played an important role in both my physical and emotional recovery. While the financial assistance helped with the extensive repairs and equipment replacement, just knowing that my friends and colleagues cared about me had an equally positive effect on my post-hurricane moral. That kind of support is priceless!
Thank you CERF+ and Happy Anniversary!
