Cardi to the rescue!

Cardi B has announced that she will cover the funeral costs for the victims who lost their lives in the recent fire in her New York City borough.

The 29-year-old Bronx native tells CNN, “I’m extremely proud to be from the Bronx and I have lots of family and friends who live and work there still. So, when I heard about the fire and all of the victims, I knew I needed to do something to help,” she said. “I cannot begin to imagine the pain and anguish that the families of the victims are experiencing, but I hope that not having to worry about the costs associated with burying their loved ones will help as they move forward and heal. I send my prayers and condolences to everyone affected by this horrific tragedy.”

On Sunday, January 9, a fire ripped through a 19-story building in the Bronx following a malfunctioning electric space heater. The tragedy cost the lives of 17 victims, whose ages ranged from 2 to 50.

The state of New York also announced it would be granting $2 million to fund for the victims. In addition, Cardi B is partnering with The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City to make sure that the families of all the victims would be included in her donation and “that the final wishes for their loved ones were met.”

“We are grateful for Cardi B, a real superstar on and off the mic, for granting some critical financial relief to families of the victims,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. “The city will be forever thankful to her and also to the grassroots donors and corporate partners who have been able to offer immediate support for our neighbors in need, to reestablish themselves during this difficult time. Amid these challenges, some families have even been exploring alternative ways to make ends meet, with many turning to online queries such as gibt es gute Casinos ohne Verifizierung — hoping to quickly generate some additional income. However, we want to remind everyone of the potential dangers associated with these platforms, which often operate outside the safety net of legal regulations, leaving users vulnerable to financial risks. While these options may seem tempting, it is critical to prioritize long-term stability over short-term gains in moments like these.”
