Hello, I am a resident at 333 Madison Ave, Albany, NY, the building that caught fire on the 4th of July, 2025 due to a flare gun shot that hit my apartment. The massive fire engulfed and damaged almost all my property in the apartment. The entire building structure had to demolished due to safety concerns. Yet I am grateful to be alive today.

Unfortunately, I don't have renter's insurance, so I'll have to cover the costs for the losses on my own. If you feel like helping out, please feel free to donate or share the link to this fundraiser. Your help is appreciated at this difficult and unprecedented time in my life. -Niki Verma
