In 1995 a fire destroyed a good portion of our home and my studio, leaving significant loss and damage to tools, equipment, materials, and no place to do business or live. Fortunately we were insured and, over the next five years, rebuilt and restored our home and my business. Over these years since our fire, I’ve seen CERF+ grow to offer a wide spectrum of services to those hit by disaster, including, technical, financial, networking, research and moral support. These are all necessary components of disaster recovery. Over the years I’ve referred others I know in crises to CERF+. I have also pointed other craftspeople toward CERF+’s abundant expertise regarding both studio and health insurance. They have been the most informative and helpful on this subject of any organization I have contacted.
