“The garage is completely gone, the left half of the house is destroyed inside, and the remaining portion is severely damaged by smoke and water damage,” reads the fundraiser.
“Over the years, more than a few of our friends and neighbors have faced terrible house fires and the Nazareth community has always stepped up and come together to help…Thank you all for your kindness, generosity, and your donation in any amount you can give!”
