Home Fire Response: Darrell's Story

Darrell Williams, originally from Memphis but now a Chattanooga resident, was displaced due to the fire at Patten Towers. Red Cross has provided essentials, including meals and lodging, to Darrell and more than 130 of his neighbors affected at the apartment building. Despite the circumstances, Darrell said about the Red Cross’ support, “Everything’s been wonderful.” He’s looking forward to being able to return home. “I thank God,” Darrell said. “And Red Cross, too.”
