Wednesday, September 3, 2003 RI Red Cross assisting family from Tuesday's
fatal fire
The American Red Cross of Rhode Island is assisting a family burned out of their home at 43 John Street
in Pawtucket. The fire Tuesday evening took the life of one man and displaced other families in the multi-family dwelling. One woman and her daughter
from the first floor are receiving food and shelter from the RI Red Cross.
The Red Cross of Rhode Island typically spends $1,000 per family of four that it assists. All Red Cross assistance is free,
thanks to contributions from individuals and organizations. The Red Cross is not a government agency and relies on private donations to provide emergency assistance to Rhode Islanders in crisis.
