Fundraiser For Milnes Family Is At Fair Lawn Dutch House Sunday

FAIR LAWN, NJ — There will be a fundraiser at the Dutch House Sunday to support the Milnes family, whose home was severely damaged by a fire Saturday.

The fire started in the basement and spread to the first floor before firefighters extinguished it. The family lost a lot of their possessions, including clothes, in the blaze.

For $40 donators get three hours of food and beverages. The event runs from 3 to 9 p.m. The Fire Department and Rescue Squad will run 50-50s and raffles throughout the event.

More than $17,000 has been donated to the family on a gofundme page following the fire.

The three Milnes children give back to the community. Steve is an auxiliary police officer, and volunteer Rescue Squad member. Kyle serves in the Army and Jackie is a preschool teacher.

Suffering the devastation of a house fire is unimaginable, and these three kind-hearted friends of ours and their parents need their community's support," Jennifer Ferreira said on the gofundme page.
