Help Hal
Donation protected
I felt compelled to start this Gofundme because of an article I read on a local Seattle new site, 'The Stranger.'
The gist of what happened was back on March 9th a major explosion near Greenwood Ave N & 85th st caused by a natural-gas leak destroyed buildings. Fortunately no one lost their life as it was early morning. However, the tremor affects of the explosion left 13 people homeless. One of those people, Hal Miller, has still been unable to go back to his home since the city inspectors found asbestos contaminated the building his apartment was in. This man has been left to fend for himself to determine where he can lay his head each night for the past 113 days. He's received some assistance ( about $4,000) but having to meet regular day to day needs (clothing, hygiene items, food) in addition to paying for a place to sleep for over three months has severely chipped away at the money he was given.
His apartment isn't expected to be cleared for him to move back in until about August 2nd. I posted the GoFundMe for $4,000 to estimate the cost of an extended stay hotel for a month + the 10% fee GoFundMe takes out.
If you're unable to donate funds but know of a person or business who can help Hal out that would be amazing as well.
Thanks for your time!
