Help Phil Rebuild After the Autumn Ridge Fire
In the early hours of Saturday, November 1st, a devastating three-alarm fire swept through the Autumn Ridge Apartment Complex in Gloucester Township, NJ—displacing over 100 residents and destroying 40 apartment units.
Among those affected was our beloved Phil Dioguardo, who lived on the fourth floor and lost everything in the blaze.
Phil awoke to thick smoke and the terrifying sight of flames consuming the hallway. With only moments to spare, he escaped the building and was later hospitalized for smoke inhalation. While we are deeply grateful that Phil survived, his home, belongings, and sense of security were completely destroyed.
Phil is currently staying with his sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Ed Crabtree, as he begins the long journey toward recovery and rebuilding.
We’ve created this GoFundMe to help Phil take his first steps forward. Donations will go toward:
- Replacing essential items like clothing, furniture, and household goods
- Covering medical expenses related to the fire
- Supporting emotional and mental recovery during this traumatic time
- Contributing toward future housing needs
Phil is still reeling from the shock of this life-altering event. Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing this page—means the world to our family. Every contribution brings Phil one step closer to healing and rebuilding his life.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Pam and Ed Crabtree
