My name is Paul- I am 19 years old and finishing up my senior year of high school in New York City. On April 29, my family's Manhattan apartment burned down in an electrical fire. I lived with my aunt (80 years old), my uncle (71) my cousin (55). Luckily we were able to get out ok, but we lost everything. We got nothing left.

Red Cross moved us into an emergency motel until May 4th, and then will most likely have to go into a homeless shelter. We are humbly asking for anything you might be able to give as we work to rebuild our life.
