Friday, Jan. 14, Summit Towers residents spent the night in a Red Cross shelter after their building was affected by a fire.
One of the affected residents was Cherry Bradshaw, a retired special education teacher from Houston. She said she felt blessed to be at the shelter and that the Red Cross calmed fear and anxiety for residents of Summit Towers.
Cherry also appreciated the comfort food served at mealtime. She noted that everything was so thoughtful and compassionate. A volunteer described her as "a ray of sunshine for volunteers and other residents."
