Woitko Family Fire Relief Fund

The purpose of this fund is to support a family in our community who are well known for their friendliness, caring and warmth. The Woitkos of North Fryeburg, who consistently lend a helping hand to others,  need our supportive care now. On Sunday December 27th while Tony and his father-in-law Matt Beardsley were working in the garage an explosion broke out. The explosion occurred when the two were transferring heating oil from one storage tank to another. Although both men were able to get out of the garage before the Fire Department arrived Matt, a beloved father, grandfather, and husband suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 75% of his body.  He was taken to Maine Med in Portland where he was in critical condition Monday afternoon.  Tony escaped needing only minor treatment at the scene and the rest of the family including Kelly, Levi, Baylee, as well as a family friend Amanda remained safe in the house, despite its proximity,  when the tragedy occurred. The steel garage  was fully engulfed in flames within minutes of the explosion. It,  everything inside it and on its perimeter was destroyed during the fire.
This donation fund is to insure that Matt receives all the care which will be necessary for a full recovery.  Beyond that, monies could potentially be used towards the construction of a replacement garage as well as some of the necessary items inside it.  Any donation is welcome and greatly appreciated. Thank you to all of the neighbors and friends that have been so supportive in the immediate aftermath of  these events, please keep this wonderful family in your prayers.
