The day of the blaze, The Carl V. Bini Memorial Fund provided immediate assistance to the five devastated families in the form of $500 gift cards.

“Having a mother, who as a child, experienced a 3 alarm fire in her home the day after Easter, I sympathize with the families and understand the difficult hardships they are going through. What makes our Staten Island community so special is the ability for our community to come together to help our neighbors in time of need,” said Janine Materna, President of the Pleasant Plains, Prince's Bay, Richmond Valley Civic Association.
