On November 15th, the Spadea family experienced an unimaginable tragedy when a fire destroyed their home and everything they own. While we are grateful that everyone is safe, they are now facing the heartbreaking reality of starting completely from scratch.

This family has always been the first to show up for others. Vito, a dedicated local police officer, also serves as the D.A.R.E. officer for Somerville and ICS schools, where he works closely with students and staff to support, educate, and protect the next generation. Kim, the president of the local school PTO, is constantly organizing, supporting, and volunteering to ensure our children and teachers have the resources they need. Together, they are known for going above and beyond—never hesitating to lend a hand, offer support, or step up when someone else is in need. Their daughters, ages 8 and 10, have lost their home, their belongings, and the sense of comfort and stability every child deserves.

Now, it’s our turn to show up for them.

Funds raised will help provide immediate living needs, clothing, basic essentials, and the long process of rebuilding their lives after losing everything. Any contribution—big or small—will make a meaningful difference to our wonderful friends as they navigate this overwhelming time. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word.

Thank you for helping this incredible family find hope and stability after such a devastating loss.
