In a deeply emotional tribute, Melba Grullón, a philanthropist from Santo Domingo, shared a heartfelt message dedicated to her daughter Alexandra, one of the 230 victims of the tragic Jet Set nightclub collapse on April 8. Grullón expressed that, despite her daughter’s physical absence, she feels her presence daily and remains grateful for the 26 years they shared. She recounted how Alexandra’s loving gestures, such as preparing small bottles of water for her mother, continue to resonate in their home, symbolizing the silent yet constant affection her daughter always showed. Grullón also reflected on Alexandra’s professional legacy, noting that her colleagues still remember her decisiveness, problem-solving skills, and compassion for others. To honor her daughter’s memory, Grullón highlighted the ALE Scholarship Fund, which supports underprivileged youth. Currently, 21 university students and nine high school students, some of whom were affected by the April 8 tragedy, are continuing their education through this initiative. Grullón announced the second call for scholarships for students entering university in January, emphasizing that her daughter’s mission to impact lives will endure. She concluded her message with a prayer of gratitude for her family and a Bible verse that sustains her: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
