House fire support for Eddie & his family
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Amber Karnes. I'm part of Baltimore city's bike community.
One of our own, Eddie, lost everything in a house fire on May 11, 2022.
He, his 8-year old daughter Nia'Ray, and his girlfriend Sequoia are all physically ok , but their home burned along with all of their belongings. So we are raising money to help his family get back on their feet.
