LEHMAN, Pa. — On Sunday, March 17, Sue Connolly and her partner lost their Lehman Township home in a house fire. The two elderly dogs survived, but the cat Max and puppies Fozzie and Daisy went missing.
Sue's sister, Nancy Connolly, is organizing a Gofundme fundraiser.
“The house is insured and inspections have begun, but the best-case scenario is 14 months until a new home is found,” she wrote on the Gofundme page.
An update on March 29th thanked the community for their generosity. “To give you an idea of how immediately important your support has been, here are some of the things these funds have already paid for: car dealer fees, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, veterinary care. expenses, socks, underwear, pants, shirts, shoes, aspirin, laundry soap, laundromat, pillows, clothes, dog bowls, dog food, cell phone chargers, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the rest of us usually. Heaven knows many other things you don't need to think about.'' Sue and Chris were still living in a hotel at that point, but were hoping to move to a more permanent location the following week. they are back to work.
The fire that destroyed their home on Mallard Lane was intense and made worse by strong winds that spread the flames.
