GoFundMe for Latino meals at coronavirus isolation hotel raises more than $5,000

A North Shore woman raised more than $5,000 this week to provide meals of chicken, arroz con gandules, and sweet plantains to patients who are staying at the COVID-19 isolation hotel in Revere, after learning that the state was providing Italian food to a mostly Latino population. “I just felt like it’s such a small gesture that could mean something,' said Cindy Ross, a yoga teacher and board member at the Salem nonprofit Root, about organizing the fundraiser.
