On Tuesday, 1/24/17 a house fire started early in the morning in a home in Middletown. There was a family of seven staying there but only five home that night. Everyone was able to make it out safely besides their pet cat, who was unfortunatley lost in the fire. The devastation was complete and the family walked out with just the clothes on their backs. Nothing was salvagable. The family is presently relying on the generosity of the community to afford a hotel for now, which is where all 7 of them are staying. Unfortunately their housing insurance had lapsed. We're asking for any donations to help the Powell/Pavao/Ethier family during this difficult time to help them get back on their feet. Donations will be used to help the family find an apartment and replace their home items. Any donations are greatly appreciated.
