<div>On Thursday afternoon Andrew Otis Julien of Three Fathom Harbour, Halifax N.S., tragedy struck when a fire spread quickly through the property of an 81-year-old veteran. Despite fast action by fire crews from Halifax Fire, Chezzetcook, Cole Harbour, and Musquodoboit, the flames consumed his house, garage, and sheds.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Local hero Gordie Spares was first on scene. With quick thinking, he reversed his water truck into the driveway and began dousing the fire, slowing its spread until firefighters arrived. His courageous actions gave crews precious time, but sadly, the veteran’s home and belongings were still lost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At 81 years old, this proud veteran—who served his country with honour and dignity—now faces the heartbreaking task of starting over. With no insurance coverage, the cost of cleanup and rebuilding is far more than his family can take on alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What We’re Asking For
</div>
<div>The family has immediate needs like food, clothing, and shelter taken care of. What they truly need now is help to rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Financial donations to cover cleanup and construction materials
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Skilled trades or volunteers willing to lend a hand in rebuilding
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Community support to ease the burden of this overwhelming loss
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div>Every contribution brings this veteran one step closer to having a safe, modest home again. If you can’t donate financially, please consider offering your time, skills, or even sharing this campaign to spread the word.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can honour his service and sacrifice by helping him rebuild after this devastating loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
