Local Eatery Holds Raffle To Support Norristown Boy Killed In Fire

NORRISTOWN, PA -- Norristown's hero, Man Man, will never be forgotten.

The latest tribute to Sanfod Harling, the boy who died in a fire in Norristown while trying to save his father's life, took place in Collegeville recently.

An Easter Egg raffle was held at the Collegeville Italian Bakery. Sanford's grandmother and aunt were on hand for the raffle.

The winner of the raffle, Jennifer, generously donated the giant Easter Egg prize back to Sanford's family.

Sanford was a member of the Norristown Youth Eagles and played on their 6th grade team in 2015.

“On the football field, Sanford could be seen cheering on his teammates and praying for them,” the Eagles wrote on Sanford. “Off the field, his personality was bright and comical.”

Although the rest of Sanford’s family survived, they face unimaginable hardship as they cope with the loss of their son and their home, which was destroyed in the fire.

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched as well. To view or donate to the campaign for Sanford, please see here.
