Latino Court Officers raise over $40,000 for coworker who lost an arm to COVID-19
A court officer from Harlem lost an arm after he suffered from COVID-19, and his colleagues in the Latino Court Officers Society have raised more than $40,000 for him.
Anibal Ortiz, a 53-year-old who has worked as a court officer for 16 years, suffered from a blood clot that forced doctors to amputate part of his left arm.
With so many affected, the Latino Court Officers Society quickly mobilized to raise funds to help him.
