El Centro Hispano Launches Fundraiser for Victims of Carrboro Apartment Fire
The local nonprofit El Centro Hispano recently launched a fundraiser to aid several Carrboro residents displaced by a recent fire.
After a severe fire broke out at the Poplar Place apartment complex early Monday morning, fire officials deemed 20 units in the damaged building uninhabitable. The blaze left 22 residents of the complex, located off Old Fayetteville Road, largely displaced.
El Centro Hispano, which advocates for equity and inclusion of the Hispanic and Latino community in the Triangle, saw one of its key leaders affected by the fire. President and CEO Eliazar Posada revealed on Facebook he was the lone victim transported to the hospital on Monday and said the fire left him with little belongings.
