The loss of life in the Fremont apartment fire on Saturday morning is hard to bear… In our small company, this tragedy means losing one of our own employees and their family members. Eyerusalem Gebregiorgis, who joined Waterways in April as a dining steward, perished in the fire, together with her nieces and nephews. Her sister, Helen Gebregiorgis, is also our dining steward, lost three children. We mourn the loss of Eyerusalem, Joseph, Yaseen, Nisreen and Nyella.
We want to help the family in this difficult time. A memorial fund is being set up in the name of the family and we are accepting donations (food, clothing, toiletries) at The Lakeside Event Center between 9 am and 5 pm.
Cash donations are also being accepted at the Red Door, 3401 Evanston Ave. N., in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood.
