Thanks for posting. I have a friend who lives right near the site of the fire and she has sent out an all-points to friends and co-workers for donations. I'm so glad people are doing this. Thanks.

Thanks for posting as well. My nanny lives in the building and despite all she came on time yesterday!! We've been collecting donations for her family (including 8 year old daughter) and people have been reaching out. They will certainly need more things once they've relocated (for now they are staying with family). I thank anyone in advance for their support.
