How You Can Help Victims of the Bronx Fire
As an Ethiopian, my heart goes out to those impacted by the recent Bronx fire. Eleven of the victims were from Gambia and so this tragedy hits home. My thoughts and prayers are with those that have been affected.
Now, though, is the time to turn prayer into action.

The blaze has been described as the deadliest apartment fire in 30 years and claimed the lives of seventeen people. The victims ranged in age from 2 to 50.
The stories surfacing on the web are heartbreaking. Hagi Jawara and his wife, Isatou Jabbie, leave behind four children. Fatima Drammeh lost her mother, brother and two sisters. Five members of the Kamara family, including their mother and her four children, ranging from 9 months to eight-years-old, are in critical care.
