On May 29, two women and one child died following a gas line explosion at the Clyde Apartments in Oak Cliff, near the corner of East 9th Street and North Patton Avenue on Thursday. Marisol Perez and her 18-month old son were lost in the fire, along with democratic activist Sylvia Collins. The families who survived now need help rebuilding.
