Urbanistas Give Back

The Urbanistas recently attended a benefit at Studio Blu for Earnest Strong, the firefighter shot in February when he arrived home to find three men holding his developmentally-challenged daughter hostage while burglarizing his home. As a member of the St. Louis Fire Department, Ernest accepts the fact that he will gladly put his life on the line everyday upon putting on his uniform and will go above and beyond to help anyone in need. Now F.I.R.E. (Firefighters Institute for Racial Equality) will assist him in his time of need as he begins his long journey to recovery.

Earnest Strong is Urbanista Coco Strong's father. If you would like to support Coco's father, please make checks payable to "Friends of Ernest Strong" and reference his trust fund account number "354005143838" in the memo line. All donations can be processed at any Bank of America branch.

Please keep Coco and her father in your thoughts and prayers.
