Family members, friends and neighbors are coming to the aid of a Danvers family that was burnt out of their home last week with some online fundraising.
A fire broke out at 14 Princeton St. in the home of Kris and Gene Palandro on the afternoon of Jan. 21. Fire officials said the fire was contained to one room, but extensive smoke and heat damage left the home uninhabitable for the short-term.
Ryan LeBeouf established a page on GoFundMe the day after the fire with the goal of raising $2,000. So far, 77 donors and six days later, $4,705 has already come in.
"Please help Kris, Gene, Nicole and their 10-year-old son Roman. They were displaced from their home in Danvers on Tuesday after the house caught fire. Everything inside is either burnt or covered in soot/smoke. Any donation is greatly appreciated and will be used towards things such as food, clothes, etc," writes LeBeouf.
