Lodi Single Mom, Son Lost Everything But Each Other In Fire Lodi Single Mom, Son Lost Everything But Each Other In Fire
Lodi Single Mom, Son Lost Everything But Each Other In Fire LODI, N.J. — Nearly $1,000 had been raised on a GoFundMe Monday afternoon for a Lodi family displaced by a recent fire. The four-alarm blaze broke out in the attic around 7:45 a.m., Jan. 10, sending flames shooting through the roof, Daily Voice reported. It took nearly two hours to bring it under control, as firefighters battled poor water pressure caused by the recent deep freeze. Funds raised on the website will go toward two of the occupants, a single mom Kelly and her 21-year-old son, Johnny. The pair lost nearly everything but each other, the page says.
