Tri-County Red Cross helps woman injured in partial building collapse

On October 22, 2008 the Tri-County Red Cross responded to assist in a partial building collapse of an apartment house in Union, NJ when a truck drove into it on October 10th. Carol Burns, who is diabetic and wheelchair-bound has been living at a local motel while her apartment is being rebuilt. She was injured in the accident and has been unable to access any of her food or clothing.

The Red Cross was able to provide her with $205 on a debit card for short-term food and clothing through our disaster relief fund.
