North Brooklyn’s favorite porker (and apparently Mets fan) catches a little shut-eye before today’s thunderstorm!
From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: How You Can Help!
As I mentioned yesterday, among the people rendered homeless as a result of Friday night’s fire at 147 Conselyea Street (as seen at left) is a family who not only lost everything save the shirts on their backs but their son’s birthday is today. That’s rough! Thus, a number of our local businesses are accepting donations to help these, our neighbors in need— and perhaps bring a much-needed smile to this child’s face. Follows are three:
Breaking Boundaries
180 North 10 Street
Brooklyn, New York 11211
They write:
…they are dear friends and family to us. You can drop items money at breakin’ boundaries starting Monday 2pm…
They go on to outline what this family needs:
- Clothing- woman 35 show size 6 she’s 5″2 and thin
- Man-6 ft
- Boy – he turns 12 today (June 3rd — Ed. Note) we’re throwing him a surprise birthday party
- He’s a shoe size 7
- Clothing 12-14
- And sports he plays everything
You can also leave donations at Mousey Brown Salon who writes:
I will have a collection box at Mousey Brown Salon for the families that were burned out of their building on Conselyea night before last. As I find out more about what they need in particular, I will post it. My assumption is that they will need everything. I will take whatever we collect to Tony’s Pizza to give to the families.

And as the above indicates, Tony’s Pizza is accepting donations as well:

Please find it in your collective hearts, north Brooklynites, to lend this family a hand in their time of need. Thanks!
UPDATE, 6:14 p.m.: On a related note, do take a moment to read this New York Daily news article about an absolutely amazing fellow who helped his neighbors flee 147 Conselyea Street!
