Hi Everyone,

My name is Maria, and I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my dad and the seven other families who were displaced by the devastating fire that occurred on February 14th. What was meant to be a day of love and joy turned into a day of heartbreak and tragedy.

We are beyond thankful that everyone made it out safely without injury. However, the aftermath of this three-alarm fire has left these families without their homes, cherished memories, and possessions—all lost in the devastation. The fire broke out at 8:30 AM, and by 6 PM, all eight units had been bulldozed to the ground, declared a total loss.

My family has been part of the Leonia community for the past 16 years, and now, we are reaching out for support. To our friends, family, and anyone willing to help during this difficult time—any donation, no matter the amount, would mean the world. If you're unable to donate financially, simply sharing this fundraiser can help spread the word and bring in support from others.

I’m still working on gathering contact information for all the affected families, and all donations will be distributed equally by me to each displaced household.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity. Your support during this incredibly difficult time means everything.
