After a tragic fire, the community is coming together to help a Lockport mom and her three children.

A Fundraising page has been set up for April Duleck after the March 21, 2018 fire ripped through her home. Melanie Schrimmel-Malcolm writes,

“Last night my best friend April lost her home to a terrible fire. She is an incredibly sweet, hard working, single mother to 3 amazing children ages 11, 9 and 4.
The house is a complete loss, including all their clothes, furniture and personal belongings.”

Thankfully everyone was able to get out of the house without any injuries.

Funds collected will go to towards buying the essentials that April and her children need right now as well as finding them a place to live.

Here is a link to the Gofund me page – https://www.gofundme.com/duleck-family-house-lost-in-fire. Please help if you can.
