On Sunday December 1st at 2:30 PM a fire start on the top floor of unit 1-1 at MCI-Norfolk. People were evacuated and no one was harmed. It took several fire departments about an hour to stop the fire leaving the entire unit displaced. Those housed on the top floor have completely lost all of their belongings including clothing, shoes, legal paperwork, pictures, electronics, books etc.
This fundraiser was put together to help contribute to the astronomical expenses our loved ones now face with buying clothing, shoes, coats, etc. The DOC is only giving each resident $35 after the fire.
