Nevin, Taylor, and their 13-month old son lived in an apartment in the three-story, 10-unit apartment complex in the 1100 block of Whipple Avenue that was mostly destroyed by a three-alarm fire on Memorial Day. More information can be found at https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/redwood-city-apartment-complex-fire/4089868/.
The Taylor family was in the apartment when the fire broke out, were able to evacuate, and are physically fine, given the circumstances. While they have been able to enter their apartment to collect a few of their possessions, they believe the majority of their items are a loss due to smoke and water damage. They are currently staying with friends and figuring out next steps.
They have indicated that they have what they need emergently to care for themselves and their son, but need to figure out next steps in terms of a temporary residence and everyday items. We are collecting funds to assist them with those efforts.
