Support for Iida Family affected by Sunnyside fire

Our good friends, the Iida family, have lost their home of 30 years due to the 43-09 apartment building fire in Sunnyside, Queens on 12/20/23. They lived on the fifth floor.

The mother, Sakiko, was in Japan visiting her family due to her father's recent passing when she found out about the fire. Fortunately, her husband Shirou and son Mitsuki are safe. This has been an extremely stressful time for her and her family, and it is difficult to imagine what they must be feeling, especially during this time of year. 

Sakiko taught at the Sunnyside Ballet Studio for around 5 years and everyone who has come across her should know about her uplifting and always-positive energy. They are all extremely hardworking and humble, so we'd like to offer them this extra support when they need it most. 

I know that they will be beyond grateful for any amount of donation. Thank you!
