The Bronx Fire Relief Fund raised more than $4 million for victims of the January blaze, but survivors say they have seen only a fraction of the money.

“As we look ahead, our goal is to distribute funds in a holistic manner that supports the needs of families in the long-term and doesn’t leave them to work a system on their own,” mayoral spokesperson Fabien Levy said in an emailed statement. “The families who were victim to this fire need support that includes housing, food services, childcare, and other services, and need a plan in place that ensures they can fully recover.
Johnson has received some funding so far, but said much of it has gone toward paying for cabs to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, where he is receiving chemo treatments. “Most of us are dangling in the wind, we don’t know what’s happening next week. We can’t make plans for our family,” said Dana Campbell, a former tenant of the Twin Parks building, who is living in a hotel with her six children. “You raised this money that’s supposed to help me, so help me.”
