Support Bronx Small Businesses destroyed by Fire

On Tuesday, October 10th, 2023, a devastating fire completely decimated 7 small businesses within the confines of Bainbridge Ave. and E. 205th St in the Bronx. The same fire has now left many immigrant families unemployed and hopeless.

Thankfully everyone is safe and no lives were lost. However, these are extraordinary circumstances made even more difficult in the wake of COVID-19, which led to many of these businesses not only behind on their own rent but also being able to afford fire insurance. These businesses were the primary income source for many of the owners/staff. Now, several are left wondering how they will cover future expenses such as food, rent, and other living expenses for their families.

We've put together this GoFundMe to raise money that will aid the families in the difficult months ahead. All proceeds will be split equally amongst the 7 businesses affected by this tragedy. We understand these are hard times for everyone, but many of you have reached out already asking how to help. Your support and generosity for the following businesses that burned down are deeply appreciated:

1. Bainbridge Bakery

2. Curry and Kebab

3. La Familia Markets and Deli

4. Shajalal Grocery and Vareity Inc.

5. Hillside Meat Market

6. MZ Mexicana Grocery

7. 7S Fish Market
