Fundraiser established for single mom and kids who lost everything in Hoboken fire

A Hoboken single mom who "has always been there for everyone" now needs the community's help.

Christina Ortiz and her two daughters were burned out of their Clock Tower apartment building home Thursday morning.

"Their home was completely destroyed in a fire, and they lost everything — clothes, furniture, cherished memories, and belongings," according to the fundraising page on AngeLink.com. "Thankfully, they are safe, but now they are left with nothing and facing the overwhelming task of starting over from scratch."

The campaign has already raised more than $20,000 of a $25,000 goal so far.

"As a single mother with left with no parents to lean on, Cristina has always worked hard to provide for her girls," the webpage reports. "Now, with their home and all their possessions gone, she's in need of help. The road ahead will be incredibly difficult, and we're reaching out to our community for any support you can offer."

The blaze, which was contained to the one apartment, is under investigation. No injuries were reported.

"Cristina has always been there for others, and now it's our turn to be there for her and her girls during this heartbreaking time," the fundraiser said. "We deeply appreciate your kindness, generosity, and support."
