Finca El Teatro is a 15-acre farm in Las Marias, Puerto Rico that grows coffee, bananas, plantains, yams, and malanga lila. Or at least it did until 2017, when Hurricane Maria devastated it. Because of the advancing age of farm owner Don Antonio Rom\u00e1n, Finca El Teatro has sat dormant, unable to produce, with the 80-year old Don Antonio surviving on social security.<\/p>\n
But now, a GoFundMe<\/a> page has been created to help the Rom\u00e1n family get the capital they need to return Finca El Teatro into a working farm.<\/p>\n The crowdfunding campaign was started by Belto Rom\u00e1n Rodr\u00edguez, Don Antonio\u2019s grandson, whose employment with the American Red Cross renders Finca El Teatro ineligible for aid from the organization due to a conflict of interest, per the GoFundMe page. This led Belto to search of other means to raise the funds needed for this grandfather\u2019s farm.<\/p>\n With the GoFundMe, Belto is hoping to raise $60,000 that will go toward:<\/p>\n Home repair As of the time of publication, the campaign has raised just over $300 in two days.
