Edit: In order to get the transfer of funds going to MJ, GoFundMe asked me to update this so you all knew exactly where the funds were going. The funds are going to be withdrawn by MJ's son AJ (Andrew Chacko) from GoFundMe once they've finished asking him for verification information and then transferred in their entirety to MJ upon receipt. Thank you all again so much for your generous giving. You've all made a significant difference in MJ's recovery from this tragedy.
Mary Jane Frable, known as MJ to her friends, lived above Gin’s Tavern which as many of you know had a catastrophic fire on Friday, May 19th. MJ worked at Gin’s and lived upstairs.. thankfully she was able to quickly run out of her home during the fire, making it out safely.
She is ok, but she has lost everything. Every personal item. Clothes. Memories. Everything.
If you know MJ you know that she would give you the shirt off of her back - and you know I am not saying that figuratively. She would literally give you her shirt off her own back if she thought you needed it. In fact, she protested anyone raising funds for her because she said “other people need it more”.
Community, friends, I put to you this modest request. Please, give what you can to help someone who is always fast to give whether she has it to give or not. Skip that coffee, skip buying that thing you don’t need today and let’s come together to lift someone up who truly deserves the help.
