Helping people affected by Mt. Pleasant fire

Just sending out a note of gratitude* that none of our neighbors were seriously hurt in the big apartment building fire on Mt. Pleasant St. last night. Unfortunately, though, 50 or more make that 200 residents of the building are now homeless. I saw the building this morning, and believe me, they lost everything.

According to a post at the Mt. Pleasant Facebook group,

Neighbors' Consejo is taking food and clothing donations at 3118 16th St, NW. Please consider making a donation. You can reach Evar Sandoval at (202) 234-6855 for more details.

*Clearly, I pray to the blogosphere.
