Help Residents of White Oaks in need from a Fire

Donation protected
Hi Everyone,

Saturday evening right after midnight a huge fire broke out and spread rapidly across the white oaks apartment building in Bayside WI, and 55 families have lost their homes and everything they owned, my sister included. 

Most people were awoken from their sleep and had to run out carrying babies, young children, and pets in their arms with no chance to grab any belongings. Some people have even lost their identity. Everyone who lived their is suffering, and we have a chance to reach out and give them a little relief.

I would like your help to reach our goal to help provide relief to the families that have been affected by this horrible fire. 

Anything helps so please do do your best to share with friends and family so we can help these people out!

Thank you,
Tamara

Hello everybody! I have an update!

I will be withdrawing generous $1350.00 to my bank account and than purchasing 54 $25 gift cards from Target and giving them to the White Oaks Building Manager Gary. He will be distributing them to all the residents of White Oaks.

After much research and through discussions with the Red Cross and the victims of the fire, this is the best option that we could come up with to directly provide support to the residents.

Some residents have already mentioned they would like to donate their cards to families with children, that is very thoughtful and completely up to each family what they would like to do with their card.

Please wait until we announce that the cards are available to contact Gary for them. It will take probably around 2 weeks just to get the funds transferred to my bank and than for me to purchase and send the cards.

I appreciate your patience and support.

Thank you!

Update:

$1325 (100% of funds received) were withdrawn and distributed in the form of $25 gift cards to Target to all the residents of White Oaks that lost their homes in the fire. The building manager Gary is in charge of distribution, so in case you haven’t collected your card yet please contact him!

Thank you to all those who gave their generous support!
