<div>The 2nd Floor was completely burned by the fire and all residents on this floor have lost all their possessions including documents, clothing, work tools, electronics, money and other valuables.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The 1st Floor has been completely flooded and is uninhabitable (walls and ceilings are falling apart) due to the amount of water that was necessary to put out the fire above. There is no electricity at all in this unit and residents have lost many possessions including documents, work tools, furniture, food, and electronics.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The 3rd Floor has sustained damage due to the fire below and many possessions have been damaged due to the flames and smoke. The entire 3rd Floor may be structurally unfit for residents to move back in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The rear cottage received no physical damage from the fire however all residents have been evacuated from the property due to a gas leak that has not been contained and still poses a serious threat moving forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to the City of Ocean City for providing all residents displaced by the fire with immediate hotel rooms for (2) nights.

Please contact us if you would like to donate any of these items as well and we can connect you directly to the victims involved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All Victims of this tragic fire are asking for your help in finding and financing new permanent housing while they work hard to regain stability. All money collected will be used by the families to cover the Security Deposit and 1st Months Rent for new apartments but more importantly, the money will be used to fund a fresh start for everyone that lost everything in this devastating fire.
