Help a Local Family After a Fire

The McKern family needs your help and is raising funds through GoFundMe.

The McKern family recently experienced a fire and is now raising money via the GoFundMe Web site.

According to the page on GoFundMe, Shawn, his wife, and their children escaped their home unhurt; however, their home and most, if not all, of their possessions have been lost. Had they slept just a few moments longer, they would not have been so lucky.

The page states, "They are currently staying with friends, and will rent a home after the holidays. This fund has been started to provide them with some funds to purchase necessities and begin the long process of getting back on their feet. No amount is too small, and all contributions will go directly to Shawn's family."

So far, the family has raised $3,765. To donate to the family, visit the GoFundMe page.
