Brooklyn family displaced by apartment fire
Donation protected
Our dear friends, Mandy and David, had a fire in their apartment yesterday and lost almost everything due to the water and smoke damage. They are working with The Red Cross to get temporary housing, but will basically be starting over. They have two sweet children (6 and 2) who both attend schools in East Williamsburg and just want to keep things as normal as possible for them while they figure out their next move.
A lot of people have asked how they can help and that’s what has prompted me to start this Gofundme. Once they get settled into a more long term housing situation donations of clothing, furniture, toys, etc make sense, but as of right now this seems like the best way to help.
Mandy, David, P and H really feel like family to so many of us and I just hope that they feel held by this community. Thank you all!
