Subject: Re: [UCNeighbors] on-line fundraiser for neighbors who lost
their home yesterday
Hi
Don't know who all lost what, but Red Paw is helping with other pets
in the same fire:
These three were displaced by a fire in their apt building at 46th
and Pine Sts in West Philly yesterday afternoon, along with several
other pets who are with their families.
Dexter (related to a PFD FF) & Maya were injured during the fire and
are currently at Penn Vet for smoke inhalation issues, and other
injuries. Maya has been weened off or oxygen overnight and will be
discharged with some antibiotics and pain meds this afternoon.
Dexter is still in o2, but hopefully will be out later today.
DeeDee is fine and currently in our emergency kennel at Central Bark
- Philadelphia.
We are also currently assisting with a third cat (another Maya)
injured from this fire, who was brought to VCA Animal Hospitals in
#Philly last night. She seems fine and will be discharged today
as well!
We are covering the cost of all of the medical bills for the
owner's, If you'd like to help us, please DONATE at: http://redpawemergencyreliefteam.com/donate/
What "stuff" do Kristie and Mark need and is there somewhere local
we can drop off if we have anything they can use?
Do not know status of other residents unfortunately.

does anyone know if they're the only people who lost everything? I
think Kyle you're totally correct, that we all have lots of stuff to
share.

Hi Folks —
WestPhillyLocal tweeted this last night — a gofundme for two
neighbors who lost everything in yesterday’s 46th and pine
apartment fire:
http://www.gofundme.com/j3v6xw
their goal is a very reasonable $2,500 — I suggested also that if
they have a list of stuff they need, we all probably have tons of
stuff we’d like to get rid of.

p.s. also, Project Red Paw, the pets-after-fires rescue group that
was created because of our big fire here a few years ago, was on the
scene and rescued several pets. They’re working with the Fire
Department now, which is a wonderful thing.
