{"name":"Katherine G","description":"Swoon has created this special NFT of Katherine G, which will be auctioned to benefit the vision of Za’Kiyah House: to reduce homelessness, addiction, and recidivism.\n\nKatherine G. is a long time friend from the block in North Braddock. She’s one of the neighbors that’s most invested in the project. Whenever we work outside she comes and joins us. If we have a job to offer her, we always like to give her work, but if not she comes and volunteers just to hang out and spend some time with the crew, enjoying all the activity and the positivity it generates. For years I told her, “One of these days I’m gonna draw your portrait and get you right up here in the walls of the church.” She would just laugh, but with this portrait I finally did. She was thrilled to see herself up there, and we even got to present it to her on her birthday with a barbecue in the lot that we’re turning into a park across from the church. \n\nThe collector receives Katherine G, a digital artwork that can be displayed in the metaverse. Just as powerfully, they are buying something real and tangible for Za’Kiyah House in Pittsburgh, PA: a repair to the roof, new functional gutters, or paint for volunteers. These artworks are emblems of that patronage. \n\nRonna Davis Moore founded Za'Kiyah House in 2016, and their past and present programs include Richard's Place for Men, Donnelle's Safe Haven for Women​, Outreach: Come Heal with Me, and Recovery On Frankstown.
