South Jordan, Utah -- Last December, a group of QFloors employees spent a Saturday sorting and labeling hundreds of coats. They were the result of a coat drive sponsored by QFloors, and were shipped to Venezuela refugees in Cucuta, Columbia. For Antonio Ortega, QFloors B2B specialist, it was a deeply personal undertaking. He spearheaded the humanitarian project as a way of doing something for family and friends who were suffering deeply.
The political and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has had a tragic cost for Antonio. Just a few weeks ago, his 59-year old brother suddenly died during the massive Blackout in Venezuela. While details are sparse, it appears to have been due to a stroke triggered by dehydration, due to power and water supplies being cut off for 6 days.
