In the early morning hours of October 3rd, Mary, Bob, and their two sons were sleeping in their longtime home in East Setauket when a devastating fire broke out. Thankfully, everyone was able to escape safely, but their home was condemned and everything inside was lost. All of their furniture, personal belongings, and even Bob's work truck and tools were destroyed. As a contractor, Bob relies on his truck and tools to support his family, making this loss even more overwhelming.

Mary and Bob have deep roots in the Three Village area, having lived there since they were children. Their home was not just a house—it was Bob's childhood home, and together they have raised five children there since 1993. The loss has left them with temporary housing and it will take about a year to get their house rebuilt. Insurance is only covering about half of what Bob will need to get back a work truck and tools.

Your support will help Mary and Bob replace their belongings, secure stable housing, and provide Bob with the tools and truck he needs to work again. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference as they work to rebuild their lives and stay connected to the community they love.
