Fire has devastated the home & business of our dear Mama- the angel face behind the counter of Floyd st Corner Store.

Always insisting we call her Mama- we don’t even know her real name.

A hard working immigrant that always did her best for herself & the others on the block.

Always a huge smile & singing praises to me & anyone else I ever brought by her quaint little store.

I know for a fact that Mama has a

huge heart- telling everyone- strangers- she loves them.

Id catch her outside on pretty days sometimes chatting with other neighbors & she would always be smiling & wave- I’ve never seen her frown.

When tragedy like a fire happens it is up to the community to help individuals rebuild their whole lives…

I know first hand how painful & scary it is to suddenly become homeless & full of burden after a fire.

Last year my home was taken by a fire & without the support of my roommate & the help of the community I’d be in a much worse place or no place at all.

Losing a home is horrible enough but I cannot imagine my shop- my means to live- taken in one night.

My story was a very lucky one… I have the support of my very strong & loving community.

I don’t think Mama quite has the same reach so I’d like to try and extend mine.

It breaks my heart to see someone so kind and caring have such a traumatic hardship.

Please donate what you can & all funds will be given directly to Mama.

Thank You with Love.
