During a recent government meeting in Roswell, officials highlighted community efforts to support victims of the recent tragedy in Redosa. Councilman Cohen emphasized the collaborative spirit of local and state residents, noting that a small company in Las Cruces has raised $10,000 through the sale of specially designed t-shirts, with proceeds directed to aid those affected.
Cohen expressed pride in the community's response, stating that the initiative not only reflects local solidarity but also showcases the broader support from various communities across the state. He mentioned that the company has since created another t-shirt design, with funds from that effort aimed at assisting the Mescalero community.
The meeting also included a call for community members to contribute names of individuals who have made significant contributions during this crisis, with plans to honor them publicly. The council aims to compile a comprehensive list of these local heroes, reinforcing the message of unity and resilience in the face of adversity.
