Mayor Eric Adams promised that the city will give families affected by the Bronx fire “all the support they need.”
And that in addition, he knows that all New Yorkers also “will be there for them.”
“What happened in the Bronx is an unspeakable tragedy, but I can promise that New York City will be there to help our neighbors get through it,” Adams wrote in a post on social media.

In addition to these official relief efforts – the governor has also said that the state of NY will help – a resident of the area where the accident occurred started a fundraising campaign on the Gofundme portal on his own initiative.
On Monday afternoon, it already had donations of more than $ 400,000, exceeding the established goal of $ 200,000.
To make your donation, you can enter the Go Fund Me website and there it is under the title: “Relief for Families Affected by Bronx Fire.”
