Hello, My name is Sabrina Gomes. I am raising funds on behalf of my father, Tony Gomes who is the owner of Paleio.

This past Sunday, 11-Sep, a 3 alarm fire started on the third floor of 376 Ferry St. in Newark, NJ. This multi-use building which was home to 31 people as well as Paleio Bar & Grill, a Portuguese restaurant which was a beloved staple in the Ironbound community for 15 years was destroyed by the fire. Thanks to the hard, tireless work of the local fire departments, all victims were rescued in time.

Despite the shock, trauma, and loss of material goods, there were no fatalities. In all, there are 31 people who have lost their homes. They have no family nearby and no money to start their lives over. 

Please help us come together to help them rebuild their lives. We are asking for help for six families including a couple with a small child, an expecting mother and a mother with a 2 month old child. All donations are greatly appreciated and will be given directly to the families affected by this fire. 

On behalf of Paleio, we appreciate your love and support at this difficult time.
