A GoFundMe fundraiser has been set up for the family displaced by the house fire on May 13 in North Battleford.
A page is set up to raise money for Linda Lefevre and her children, whose home at 2322 100th St. was destroyed by the blaze last Thursday.
The page was organized by Santanna Belyk and has set a goal of $15,000. As of Tuesday morning, $3,830 had been raised from 43 donations, with the largest contribution so far being a donation of $300.
People looking to contribute can find the page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/2322-100th-street-linda-lefevre-and-kids-fire?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unknown&utm_campaign=comms_p8bh+2322-100th-street-linda-lefevre-and-kids-fire .
The statement posted on the GoFundMe page reads as follows:
“On Thursday May 13th, Linda lost her home and business to a fast moving house fire. At the time of the fire, her oldest daughter was in the house alone, but managed to escape the fire unharmed, and made the initial call to emergency services. By the grace of God, she made it out safe. However, due to the nature of the fire the home had to be demolished mid-fire to spare the neighbors' homes. Her and her children aged 5, 10, and 14, lost absolutely everything in under an hour.
“Anyone who has experienced a loss like this, knows how hard and long the time between the trauma and insurance clearance can be. The funds raised will go directly towards replacing immediate items needed, such as children's clothing, food, and necessities. All that remains is what they left their house with on their backs unknowingly that day. We are blessed to live in a community that supports and rallies behind those in need, any donation is hugely appreciated.”
