Ten months after the first of two fires sparked at the Club Valencia condominium complex in Arapahoe County, a son is stepping up to make sure his mom has a place to call home.
"I don’t want to see my mom suffer. And what I can do and what I know how to do is put on events and bar-tend," said James Menkal.
On Saturday, Menkal hosted a fundraiser at Little Eden Plantscaping in Arvada with hopes of raising $70,000, or enough money to pay for his mom's mortgage for five years. Menkal said any money raised that exceeds that amount will go to the other homeowners displaced in the Club Valencia fires.At the end of March, the condo's HOA board revealed to Denver7 that their two insurance claims for the fire were denied. Litigation with the insurance company is on-going.
"I can’t imagine other people who are in a worse situation...what they’re going to do. It breaks my heart," said Menkal."To have everyone here today to care enough is really, really a blessing. Thank you, thank you for being here," she said.
