My brother Sean Connell’s home on Hicks Street in Fall River, MA, caught fire today. They lost everything. His entire life was in the apartment. My heart breaks for all of the families affected.

We are asking for any donations that could help him rebuild his life. Starting over after a fire is so tragic, and every little bit helps. We are very thankful that everyone got out safe. And while memories are not replaceable, it is still helpful to be able to replace some of the items lost.

Many of you know Sean and the many lives that he touches every day through all of his work in the community and all of the countless students that he has helped to change their lives and empower them. It is our turn to give back and show him all of our love and support. Thank you

Katie
