FARMINGDALE, NY — Long Islanders have supported a Farmingdale family whose home burned down in late February.

A GoFundMe was set up for Beshears family after a fire fully engulfed their Secatogue Avenue house on Feb. 24. Since then, nearly $20,000 has been raised for the family. The fundraiser's page says the family needs money for everyday items including food, clothes and shoes, as well as gift cards for restaurants.

You can donate to the family here.
