Fundraiser Launched For Norristown Girl Killed In Fire

NORRISTOWN, PA -- A fundraiser has been launched for the family to send the body of Yaritza Vinalay Pineda back to Mexico.

"Yaritza was a sweet, smart and loving little girl. Help us raise money to send the body of our dear angel Yaritza Vinalay Pineda to Mexico," the fundraiser reads.

Yaritza, who was six years old, was one of three individuals killed in the catastrophic blaze in Norristown on Saturday at 825 DeKalb Street.

Two adults and two children perished, including Yaritza's 11-year-old sister Jennifer Vinalay and Elpidio Fuentes, 74, according to officials.

Montgomery County Detectives are currently investigating the fire, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele confirmed.

The fire appears to have originated on the enclosed porch but the preliminary investigation indicates that it does not appear to be suspicious in origin, the DA said.

Other occupants of the house were taken to area hospitals.

The fundraising page for Yaritza has already received more than $3,000 in donations. To learn more, see here.
