Santo Domingo. – Four months after the tragedy at the Jet Set nightclub, which claimed the lives of more than 200 people, doña Melba Grullón, president of the Sur Futuro Foundation, shared an emotional message on her Instagram account remembering her daughter Alexandra Grullón, one of the fatalities.
With words full of love and pain, doña Melba expressed how time has passed without her perceiving the passage of days and nights, while the void left by the absence of her daughter becomes deeper and deeper. She remembered a pending gift, some earrings she had bought for Alexandra, symbolizing the eternal bond that unites them.
Amid her pain, doña Melba announced that the Alexandra Scholarship Fund has been created, a project that she and a group of collaborators, including Milton, Servio Tulio, Kathia, Ariel, Maja, Eva, Radel and Eduardo, are promoting to support children and families affected by the tragedy, honoring the memory of Alexandra and the legacy of generosity that her father taught them.
