WORCESTER – A 3-alarm fire on Birch St. in Worcester on Thursday, July 25 displaced 32 people, including a young mother and her 8-year-old son who lost their cat and thousands of dollars worth of possessions in the fire.
A GoFundMe campaign has been started by Keith Lowell in hopes of helping raise money for his daughter, his grandson Jay and their friend Jamari.
The GoFundMe campaign — titled “Des and Jay” — was launched at the end of July and hopes to raise $5k.
The campaign reads: “My daughter Desirae , her friend Jamari, and my grandson Jay all lost their home due to a fire this past week in Worcester. They lost majority of all their belongings, and their cat in the fire. Anything anyone can give would be highly appreciated. These are good people who need as much help as possible right now.”
Both of the family’s dogs survived the fire.
