Matt and Nora Brooks and Cookie Monster
An apparent gas explosion leveled an apartment building, largely destroyed two others and launched rubble and shards of glass across streets in the heart of Manhattan's East Village on Thursday, injuring 19 people. Smoke could be seen and smelled for miles.
Nora and Matt Brook, who live in the building that was destroyed, have lost everything.
Matt has been a puppet builder for Henson for over 20 years and also worked for Laika as a set dresser. He lost power tools, cameras, professional lighting, hand tools and several valuable puppets. Nora is a writer from Portland.
They also lost all household goods and all of Nora's books.
A gofundme campaign is asking that you contribute what you can to this family at their time of need. Click here to support the Brooks.
