Support Pours For San Leandro Woman Who Lost Home In Fire

SAN LEANDRO, CA — Community members are rallying for a San Leandro woman who lost her home in a fire earlier this month.

The blaze happened on Friday, April 3, near Washington Elementary School. Fire crews quickly worked to put out the blaze, but it spread and impacted at least five homes, according to a report from ABC7.

Crystal, a 72-year-old disabled woman, lost her home in the fire. She's now in need of essentials, including clothing, food and a new place to stay as she "begins the difficult process of rebuilding her life."

"The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward helping her secure temporary housing and replacing the essentials she lost in the fire," according to Terry Bradford, the creator of the fundraiser. "Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping Crystal regain stability and hope during this incredibly difficult time."

The GoFundMe has raised $4,990 out of its $13,000 goal as of Monday afternoon.
