Community Rallies Around Milford Family Devastated By Fire

MILFORD, CT ? The community is coming to the aid of a family devastated by a recent fire. One person suffered minor injuries when a fire destroyed an Amber Lane home earlier this week.

Amy Simmons organized the fundraiser on behalf of Tracy Casey.

She wrote on the GoFundMe page:

"On February 5th, the Casey family (Tracy, Martin, Matthew, Michael & Ryan) lost everything in their Milford, CT house to a devastating fire. Everyone was able to make it out of the house safely, but they lost everything. There is no way to put into words how they must be feeling right now. You never think something like this will happen to you or someone you know, until it does. This comes on the coattails of losing their dear daughter & sister Megan in 2022; no human deserves this kind of compounded tragedy.

"Usually in these situations, the people affected don?t know what to ask for because they are so devastated, and friends and family don?t even know where to begin to start helping. This is where community steps in. If you know them, or if you are of compassionate heart and are able to give any amount, please consider donating to help the family restock on clothes, food, basic necessities, etc. They deserve every penny. Thank you all so much in advance."

The fundraiser has generated $14,690 out of a $20,000 target.
