BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Members of the Woodlawn Merchants Association have begun collecting funds to help the family of Tyrennis Mabry, who was killed in a gas explosion at Marks Village apartments in Gate City in December. The Mabry Family Fund will be used by Mabry’s daughter to support her two minor siblings and grandmother.
“When a tragedy like this happens to a family who is already struggling, it touches us all. Friends and neighbors have been pitching in to get them through the holidays and now we are hoping the larger community will come forward to help,” said Woodlawn Merchant Association Committee Member and owner of The Shop, Wayne Honeycutt, Jr.
The account has been created at the Woodlawn Branch of Regions Bank in the name of The Mabry Family Fund (0189312422). Deposits can be made at any branch in the Birmingham area.
Woodlawn Merchants Association is comprised of area business owners working collaboratively to promote the business district, improve public spaces and support surrounding neighborhoods. For more information, contact 205.910.9749.
