Lost everything in Home Fire

Fire over Shabbat December 2, 2017 has destroyed almost everything belonging to the Aba family of 8.
Please share this post and donate to help them.

I am posting additional info as requested by go fund me. 
My Name is Lois Simons, I live in kgh for 15 yrs.
I have arranged this fund with the permission of the Aba family.

Our girls are very close  and  we are family friends.
The oldest daughter is staying with my family for the time being during this transitional period.

All donations will be passed immediately to the Aba family for them to use as needed for housing, clothing, furniture, etc after the fire where they lived.
You can also contact them directly to assist in any way.

Thanks to all for the generous contributions and support.

The funds are currently going into my account as bank account information from the family was not available at the time the fund was setup.

I, Lois, am receiving the funds from the campaign into my personal bank account. From there, I'll be responsible for giving a bank check to Osnat in the Aba family.

I spoke to the family today 12/06/17, and they are starting to look at housing now.

They are very grateful for all the clothing donations, but if we could please hold them until they are in their new place as they don't have room at the moment where they are staying.

As soon as funds are released by Go Fund Me, I can pass all $$ to the family for their new household rental and additional expenses for them to use as needed.

It saddens me that some would doubt the validity of this campaign to help a family in our community.
