FOLLOW-UP: Campaign Launched for Families Affected by Lakewood Fire
A fundraising campaign organized by Yad L'Yad Lakewood is seeking help for six families affected by Tuesday's Park Avenue fire.
A fundraising campaign has been launched to help families affected by the fire that swept through a home on Park Avenue in Lakewood early Tuesday morning.
The campaign page identifies Yad L'Yad Lakewood as the organizer and lists a $500,000 fundraising goal, according to The Lakewood Scoop. The page says six families are facing the task of rebuilding and two families lost everything.
The campaign says the fire destroyed upstairs and downstairs apartments and damaged a neighboring house. Those descriptions are the organizers' account of the losses.
The fire broke out around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday. All occupants were accounted for and no injuries were reported, according to The Lakewood Scoop's coverage.
The fundraising effort is a follow-up to the fire reported earlier. Its stated goal is to help affected families rebuild after the damage.
