Cairo,

Feb. 4 (SEE) One donor rescued about 70 homeless from the cold

weather in Chicago by paying for their stay at some hotels.

According to

the British newspaper "The Independent", this donor had done this

action after he heared about the closing of a shelter that included tens of

people. This shelter was closed because of the explosion of a gas tank which

used to warm the headquarters.

The shelter

was housed between 150 and 200 persons, some of them were collected by the

Christian charity organization "Salvation Army".

The

spokesperson of the non-governmental organization Jacqueline Rachev said

"It's great to have a person who decides to give the homeless a warm

place. We are happy that the displaced persons will enjoy safety, even though

for few days".

This unknown donor

paid many thousand dollars to ensure a warm place in a building is located in

the southern city. There was a very low temperature, as the temperature

recorded 21 C, which led to the killing of 21 person in January 2019.
