On December 12, 2024, the home of Shanice Akinleye, Maria Walker, Lawanda Walker, Lamarcus Walker, and Mona Pierre caught fire due to a grease fire. Unfortunately, the Akinleye/Walker home was completely destroyed by the fire. Although nobody was harmed in the fire, the family was only able to escape wearing the clothes on their backs and the shoes on their feet. No other personal items could be salvaged from the devastation of the fire. The Akinleye/Walker family are in need of monetary donations to replace their clothing, food, furniture and home.
