Woman In Coma, 3 Suffer Severe Burns In Lower Bucks Co. Fire: Family

LANGHORNE, PA —The community is raising funds for residents of a duplex who lost everything in a fire early Saturday morning.

Two GoFundMe page campaigns have been created over the past few days for the victims of the three-alarm fire that injured eight people living in a duplex in the 100 block of West Richardson Avenue after 5 a.m. on Saturday.

One was created by Vicki Salador, whose aunt Lisa Lear —the sister of her father —was trapped and rescued by firefighters and was flown to the Temple Hospital burn unit where she is currently in a medically induced coma.

"Not only does she face a long road to recovery, but she also lost everything she owned in the fire, including her beloved dog and cats. Any contributions big or small are greatly appreciated, along with thoughts and prayers," Salador said.

The GoFundMe page has raised more than $8,000 of its $30,000 goal so far.

Another GoFundMe page was launched for the Holgate-Miller family.

Shannon Connelly created the fundraiser to help the family.

Connelly said that she, Arthur Holgate, Dawn Holgate-Miller, Zach Miller, William Miller, Kathryn Holgate, and Kyle Hamilton were all inside the house at the time of the fire and all got out safely.

"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support during this unimaginable time," she said. " The family has lost everything and will need to start over completely."

Connelly said that three family members who lived in the home are hospitalized, suffering from traumatic burns and smoke inhalation.

She said donations would go towards medical bills, clothes, a new family car, and all daily necessities that were lost.

Donations have reached more than $49,000 of the page's $55,000 goal.

"Your generosity is crucial as the family begins to rebuild their lives from scratch," Connelly stated.
