Caitlin Holt of Albrightsville started the page which is entitled House Fire Lost Everything.“Early morning on July 6th, 2017 Devon, Samantha, Shayla, Nina, Kia and Justice’s house burnt down. Everyone is safe but the cause of the fire is unknown. The worst part of this is that everything that they owned is completely gone and destroyed. They have nothing. The top of their house was burnt to no remains and the bottom of the house is destroyed by water damage. Please help by donating anything you can. Anything would help. These great people lost everything they owned, all were asking for is to help out your neighborhood/friend/classmate/loved one.”Chief Vukovic added a special “thank you” to the American Red Cross for its assistance in lending aid to the firefighters and the family.
