fleamarket fire - Romero family

Donation protected
On tuesday march 8, 2016 around 9 a.m. there was a devastating fire that started within the buyers flea market. The fire was so immense that it was upgraded to a level 1 hazmat fire destroying everything it touched collapsing the ceiling and destroying parked vehicles on the rooftop parkinglot. The fire lasted all day and all night even today march 9 the surrounding area was still smokey. The fire department is investigating and the cause of the fire is still unknown.

I am calling out to my friends and family to help raise some money to help us get thru this devastating tragedy that occured.

We have been in business at the buyers flea market for than 18 years. We sold shoes for the whole family our whole life was there, I grew up there helping my family start up a small business since i was 6 years old ! I woke up at 5a.m. every weekend to get to work and help my family set up the displays and I did whatever I could to help. Im 24 now and the buyers flea market is still a major part of our family income, so when we heard the news about what had happened to our second home, we felt like our whole lives shattered burning to the ground alongside the fleamarket, thousands of dollars invested ... all gone.

Family, friends, I wont ask for much every dollar helps . If its the extra change in between your couch or an extra dollar in your pocket that you can afford to donate please help everything helps .

I want to thank everybody in advance for your best wishes and donations from the bottom of my heart I thank you all.
