The Hoffman family of Shermans Dale returned to their home yesterday afternoon (5/3/18) to find it fully engulfed in flames.
Despite best efforts from numerous fire departments, all was lost, including their beloved beagle, Bella.
Bob, LaRee, and 17 year old Sarah Hoffman have lost every worldly belonging they've ever known. It's a very long road ahead but they are blessed in that no one was home nor injured yesterday, and they have us - a community willing to surround them, support them, and be with them as they begin to put the pieces back together again.
This is where you, me, all of us can help. A clothing drive is underway right now, more info can be found (sizes and needs) on facebook at REMOVED. (This link has been removed - the clothing donations have been overwhelmingly generous, thank you).
But perhaps more importantly, your donation is desperately needed to sustain them until they can work with their insurers to rebuild and be back on their feet again.
Every dollar will help this family who works so hard, whose daughter was set to leave for Geneva College in the fall, they've lost it all - photos, clothing, cherished memories, books, beds, every comfort is lost.
Please help us to help the Hoffman family start all over again.
