From South Baltimore resident Laurel Shroyer Porter:
The family that was impacted by this fire today at 1500 Latrobe Park Terrace lost everything. They have a 4 year old son and a 7 year old daughter. We are starting a collection to fulfill an immediate need to purchase items like toothbrushes, basic clothes etc. If you are so inclined to assist I’d welcome Venmo donations @laurel-porter-5. Thank you!
Update: As of now I’m only asking for a monetary donation to make sure they get a few items of immediate need. Currently the family is in limbo and lacking the space to store lots of in-kind donations. Once that changes I’ll post more requests for specific items. Thank you!
