Jack Caroluzzi -- who was battling cancer -- attempted to save sentimental items from his home as it flooded. The items were that of his wife Laura's late father, GoFundMe organizer Jessica Jones wrote.
After losing her husband of 32 years, she was left with no cars and no home as water totaled their cars and flooded her basement and first floor, Jones added.
Laura's niece Kristina, was listed as a beneficiary for the funds which will be sent to Laura once they reach the fundraiser's desired goal of $10,000.
The GoFundMe raised over $4,300 as of Sept. 8.
