Fundraisers to benefit family whose house was destroyed in fire last week
Several fundraisers have been set up to benefit a Breckenridge family whose house was destroyed in a fire last Monday, March 11.
According to a post on the Breckenridge Fire Department’s Facebook page, firefighters responded to a structure fire call at the 1400 block of East Hullum Street shortly after 1 a.m. on March 11. The family made it out of the home, but the home was a total loss. Additionally, the Breckenridge Police Department and Sacred Cross EMS assisted at the scene.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to benefit Kayla Honea and her three sons, who lost most of their possessions in the fire. Additionally, an online auction, as well as a raffle, has been organized to raise funds. Click the following links for more details on each fundraiser:
