Bronx Building Collapse Victims, The Matos Family

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers, Our world turned upside down when the building we called home for over 40 years collapsed, leaving us with shattered lives and uncertain futures. In the midst of this tragedy, it's not just the bricks and mortar that crumbled but the foundation of our family's stability. Within those walls were cherished memories, and now we find ourselves in a shelter, grappling with the stark reality of an uncertain return home, if at all. My wife, our 5 year old daughter, 2 year old son, my parents and I are now navigating the challenges of displacement, hoping for a glimmer of normalcy amidst the chaos. The weight of the unknown is heavy, and we turn to you, our community, for support and strength. Every contribution, big or small, will help us piece together our lives and rebuild the sense of security we once took for granted. As we embark on this unexpected journey, we are grateful for any assistance you can provide – whether it's through financial contributions, sharing our story, or simply offering words of encouragement. Thank you for being a beacon of hope in our darkest hours. With heartfelt gratitude, Andres, Mia and The entire Matos Family.
