Charred Memory -

The charred remains of a home ravaged by fire is the only reminder to passerby of a tragic blaze early Easter Sunday that critically injured a boy and left his parents and six brothers and sisters homeless. Many individuals and organizations are volunteering to help the stricken Elulia Perez family. The children, ages 10 to 17 need clothes to help get them on their feet again while they watch the progress of 11 year-old brother Edward, being cared for at the Maricopa County Hospital burn unit.
The film negative of this photograph is housed in box 2G7-B.
