On December 5th, you may have seen the heartbreaking news about the apartment building fire in Jersey City. Among those affected was Inez Valeriano, the mother of our friend and Activities Coordinator at Sunrise of Mountain Lakes, Julio Martinez. The fire began in the apartment directly above hers, and in the devastation that followed, she lost nearly everything.

As we move through this season of giving, we’re reaching out to our community for support. Any contribution—big or small—will help her begin to rebuild her life and replace the essentials like clothing, furniture, and toiletries.

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for keeping this family in your thoughts. Wishing you all a warm and peaceful holiday season.
