Fund Set Up to Assist East Haven Fire Victims

On Jan. 6 a fire was reported at 33 Burr Street in East Haven, which left a man hospitalized and a cat dead, the New Haven Register reported.

The house was badly damaged in the blaze, a fire official said.

Now a GoFundMe campaign has been created to assist the Collins Family, who were the victims in the fire.

According to the GoFundMe campaign, “Everything in the house was lost and the house is now uninhabitable. Their family cat unfortunately did not survive the fire. They need help recovering from a fire in which they lost everything. They will need help renting a new apartment, buying clothes, food, bedding, cremation, and other everyday necessities. Everything was destroyed.

Every dollar donated will go towards helping them return to their normal lives. Any amount will help. If you can’t donate money we will gladly accept clothing donations, food, used furniture, etc.
