Nastasia Urbano - Six Thousand Euros!

We did it! :-D

Fifty-four days after it began, the GoFundMe campaign launched by Daniel Mirabal Gallego-Díaz to help homeless Spanish model Nastasia Urbano (pictured above left in the 1980s and above right in the 2010s) finally raised the intended goal of €6,000 (US$6,738.92) earlier today with one final donation, following a surge of larger donations in the past week.  Now Nastasia has the money she needs to get a place of her own, after having stayed with a friend, for at least three months.  In the meantime, she hopes to get some work to ensure that she doesn't end up on the streets of Barcelona again.  Not necessarily work as a model - although, in light of her recent modeling work in Spain, it's inexplicable why she wouldn't be able to find more modeling jobs, since she's still a knockout even with closely cropped hair - but any work of any sort that allows her to keep a roof over her head.        

Now it's Nastasia's responsibility to live life on her own again and be her own woman again as well, though, having known her for a few years (limited as our friendship may be to social media), I'm sure she will never be homeless again.  And, at 57 years of age, she has a life as beautiful as she is to look forward to.

Thanks to everyone reading this who contributed to Nastasia's GoFundMe campaign - you guys rock!  And thank you, Nastasia, for being my friend, letting me help you, and being an inspiration to those who get up after being knocked down. :-)
