Neighbor and Cat Lost Everything in Fire

Donation protected
UPDATE: Aura gives many thanks to all those who donated. She was able to move from the shelter to a hotel and is in the process of finding a new apartment. She has the attitude of a phoenix rising from the ashes, she is rebuilding optimistically. Mio has recovered and Aura is in the process of recovering from her own medical issues. Thank you so much for your help as a community.

My dear neighbor Aura and her cat Mio just lost everything in a house fire. At 6:45 am on June 9th, Mio accidentally caught fire on a lit candle which then spread to everything in the apartment. Firefighters responded quickly but everything was lost.

Mio is injured and the family needs assistance with his vet bills. He suffered burns on his face and paws. Aura too has suffered burns on her face and arms and has received medical attention. She has lost all of her belongings and her equipment for her massage practice she was running out of her home.

Aura and Mio are widely beloved in the community, Aura is a small business owner and a wonderful neighbor.

SPECIFIC NEEDS:
-Help with vet bill expenses
-Women's clothing size L
-Emergency housing leads or hotel vouchers

Anything helps, please share. I will share updates when I get them.

Please reach out to me if you know of any resources in Astoria that could help them. I am in contact with the family.
