Three firefighters and a resident had to be treated for heat-related injuries on Sunday after a cigarette ignited a rapidly-spreading blaze that ripped through the complex.
"I'm sure they will have to spend just about everything they have in their savings just to make ends meet until they can get their home rebuilt and back up on their feet," Besterman wrote. "If you can donate it would be much appreciated, but most importantly, keep our friends in the Canterbury community in your prayers."
