Support Middlefield House Fire Victims

In the early morning of September 6, 2024, a devastating house fire broke out in Middlefield, CT, destroying everything and taking the life of a precious 6 year old boy. The fire consumed everything, and the loss is unimaginable.

Those impacted are Becca (Yantosh) Gagnon, a life-long Middlefield resident and a beloved member of the community. Her beautiful son, Finn, tragically perished in the fire. He was a force to be reckoned with who brought love and light to anyone who had the privilege to have met or known him. His smile and laugh were infectious, and his heart knew only love. To know him was to love him.

During this unfathomable sadness, we ask others to come together to help support Becca. Donating to this cause will help relieve some of the financial burden and allow her time to grieve her son. We are all beyond devastated and share the family’s and Becca’s profound grief.

This is the official Go Fund Me sanctioned by the family and all funds will go directly to Becca to help her rebuild her life. The Go Fund Me page is being managed by Nina Akerley Lindsey, a close friend of Becca’s and a native of Durham.

Details for a ceremony honoring Finn will be shared at a future time.

Thank you all for your support and all the heartfelt condolences, thoughts, and prayers.
