S. passes on the GoFundMe for “Community Support for Aresa and C’Mya from MV Calle 8”:

In a panic, I tried to douse the fire with water, but it spread rapidly. Next thing I see the fire spreading to my bed the flames started to get bigger and bigger. In the panic I tired to find the fire extinguisher but I wasn’t able to locate it. I started panicking until my 17 year old brother told me “yeira it’s too late we have to go” I knew in that moment that I had no choice but to evacuate… (more…)
