Astoria Fire Impacts Multiple Families
Donation protected
My name is Kaitlyn and I am a previous teacher, neighbor, and friend to The Fukumoto Family who was impacted by the Easter Fire in Astoria.
On Sunday 04/20 a 3 alarm fire occurred on the corner of 31st Avenue & 23rd Street in Astoria. This tragedy took the homes of 3 families and all of their belongings.
This money will be used to help support the people impacted including The Fukumoto Family and The Yoshida Family.
I will be receiving these donations and giving them to families via check. These monies will help them secure new housing and to replace all of their life long belongings that were lost from furniture, to clothing, to school necessities, and so on.
The community support has been amazing and you can find GoFundMe Pages organized for Yoshida & Acosta Here: Help Mondello & Acosta Family Recover After Fire ($20K+ raised) and- Support the Yoshida Family After Fire Loss ($65K+)
Due to the high participation of these GoFundMe pages, the donations from my fundraiser will be allocated accordingly: 95% to Fukumoto Family and 5% to The Yoshida Family.
Please pass this story on.
