Donation Drive For Columbia House Fire Victims Underway

COLUMBIA, MD — After fire destroyed a Columbia family's home earlier this month, a GoFundMe campaign has been established for donations to help the six people who lived there. Money will go toward necessities, since all was lost in the blaze.

Four children, two adults and two dogs lived in the house in the 9200 block of Soaring Hill Road, officials said. All were displaced by the Dec. 1 fire.

"Our house burned down, along with everything in it. Help us raise money to get all the things we need to start over," says a statement on the GoFundMe page.

The goal is to raise $5,000. As of Dec. 18, donations totaled $2,695. Donate to the GoFundMe campaign here.

Thunder Hill Elementary School is also helping to collect gift cards. Those who would like to donate may drop off an envelope to the school addressed to the attention of Heather Swan care of Thunder Hill Elementary School PTA at 9357 Mellenbrook Road, Columbia, MD 21045.
