NEW CANAAN, Conn. The victims of last Sundays fire on Fawn Lane are receiving a little help from their neighbors thanks to a special account established at the Bank of New Canaan.
Town residents and others have offered financial contributions to the family of Daniel and Peggy Lee, whose home was destroyed by a fire on Sunday morning.
Its a small town and a lot of people who work here live in New Canaan and people know them firsthand, said Diane Knetzger, a spokeswoman for the Bank of New Canaan. Theres been a strong outpouring from the community. Some people have given $50, some people have given larger amounts.
Knetzger did not say how much money has been collected, but they will keep the fund going for a while.
We will keep it up as long as possible until we get them over the hurdles of whats transpired, she said.
