EAST PATCHOGUE, NY —The Patchogue community is coming together to help a couple who lost their home after a devastating fire earlier last weekend.
Local resident Danylle Hoesterey started a fundraising campaign to help Vinny and Vicky Lettieri and their two pets. The family lost their Celia Street home after a massive fire broke out Saturday.
Following the incident, Hoesterey created a GoFundMe page to help the local family just before the Thanksgiving holiday. According to the page, the couple lost everything they own in the blaze.
