Relief for Ballard 4-Plex Fire
I'm a neighbor in the Gilman Park neighborhood. I have spoken to three of the four tenants of today's fire in the low-income four-plex. If you would like to donate money to help them get into new housing, please donate here. My plan is to split the money, giving families a slightly higher percentage of the total since it is more difficult to find family housing. I am using GoFundMe for the sake of transparency in the event anyone would like to audit what $ comes in and what $ goes out -- I realize many who are interested in donating don't know me, but I am a pastor at a Lutheran Church and used to dealing ethically with contributions.
Thank you for your help. FYI, there were no injuries to humans or animals that any of the three tenants I spoke to knew about. And though the fire was in half the building it is very likely the whole building is a loss.
One other request: If anyone hears of housing, especially housing that takes vouchers, please let me know in comments so that I can pass those leads along.
