House Explosion in Rahway, NJ After Ida - Relief

Donation protected

On the morning of September 2nd 2021 the home of the Patel family in Rahway, NJ was completely destroyed as a result of a gas leak caused by Hurricane Ida. Thankfully the young couple, their one month-old daughter, and dog made it out safely, but other than the clothes on their backs, they have lost all their belongings. 

Any donation you can provide will be greatly appreciated as the family begins the long and difficult road to rebuilding their lives and their home. 


If you prefer to donate via Venmo, the family’s Venmo is: @hirudo


Thank you very much!
