Bhutanese Community of Central Ohio

The Bhutanese Community of Central (BCCO a 501 c (3) nonprofit org) is organizing GoFundMe on behalf of the Bhutanese Families living at the Village Court Apartments at 4638 Tamarack Blvd. On November 6, 2021, around 1:45 am, a fire broke out at Village Court Apartments at 4638 Tamarack Blvd in Columbus Ohio. This unfortunate incident happened in the middle of Diwali. Sadly they have all of their personal belongings, savings, jewelry, and all their memorable items. It was such a traumatizing incident that we can only imagine.

The Bhutanese Community of Central Ohio has been in touch with the leasing office at the Village Court Apartments. As of today, the leasing office says the apartment complex is not in a good condition for individuals to live in anymore and the tenants need to find another apartment. The fire authorities are still investigating to see how and where the fire started, and it will take a few weeks for authorities to allow individuals to go in to see if there is anything left.

 

At this time we are working to provide them with warm clothes, shoes, groceries, and diapers for the babies, and other basic necessities. They need to start their life all over from scratch. Among the survivors are a single mother, an elderly couple, and a disabled family. They will not be able to get back to life on their own unless we step in. We are requesting you to help support and recover these families as best you can.

 

Thank you all for whatever you can offer - help, prayers, sharing.
