A GoFundMe campaign is halfway to its goal following a weekend fire in Atikokan.
Emergency services in Atikokan responded to a fire at a home on Willow Road Sunday night.
According to the OPP, the blaze caused extensive damage to the home.
“My sister’s family home was involved in a devastating house fire which has left them temporarily without the basic necessities,” said Jennifer Botham on the GoFundMe campaign. “I am starting this page in hopes that I can help make the next few days easier on them. They currently have the clothes on their backs and that is it!”
In a post to Facebook, Northern Variety in Atikokan has also announced that cash donations and items can also be dropped off at their store.
