Please Help Thierry, Didier and Family Recover
Donation protected
The family of Thierry Balihuta, who is well known around town as the director of operations for the Sag Harbor Cinema, suffered a tragedy on the evening of Saturday, December 17, when a fast-moving fire gutted their home, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
Thierry, his brother Didier Irabizi, and their parents, Agnès Mujawayezu and Faustin Nsabumukunzi, are in need of funds for daily living expenses as they navigate through the coming year.

Thank you to all of you who have already donated to either the GoFundMe or have donated by other means.
Gift cards and cash donations will be used by the family for covering *immediate* expenses associated with daily living, such as gas and toiletries.

If you live in or around Sag Harbor, New York, you’ll likely recognize Thierry’s face from when he managed the UPS Store, or, more recently, at the Sag Harbor Cinema, where he’s held position as Director of Operations since its reopening in 2020.
His brother, Didier, worked at the UPS store with Thierry and now manages Monc XIII, also in Sag Harbor.
Agnès is an employee of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and Faustin owns a landscaping business. Originally from Rwanda, the family relocated to Bridgehampton from Houston in December 2005.
Please help us get brothers Thierry and Didier back on their feet so they can keep their mother and father comfortable as they rebuild their family home.
