My name is Suzanne Aruti and I am a friend of an amazing family from North Bellmore who experienced an unexpected tragedy yesterday. The Matland Family has lost their home in a fire, including their beloved dogs, Peaches and Bruiser. Jeanne Marie and Ryan and their five children- Ava Marie, Emma, Lyla, Victoria, and Ryan, are safe. However, the effects of this loss will be felt for a long time. As they have lost everything in their home, they are in need of assistance from our community and whoever is willing to help. No donation is too small. Let’s come together to help this wonderful family, who always does so much to help others. The money will be transferred to the family for essentials they need such as clothing, food, household items, items for the children, and whatever other expenses that will help them rebuild what they have lost. Thank you for your support.
