From The Sussex County Fire Chiefs Association:
The Pastore family of Wantage School Road, Wantage, lost everything in a house fire yesterday. Donations of gift cards are being accepted for clothing and other items at Tri-County Audio on Hamburg Avenue in Sussex beginning today. One son (7th grade) wears a men's medium shirt and 32/30 husky pant; the other son (5th grade) wears a kids large shirt and size 10 regular pant. It's Christmas time, keep them in your prayers.

That's a shame and I hope they had insurance, if they receive the same amount of support we did they will be overwhelmed. We ended up taking two truckloads of stuff that was donated to us to another family that were victims of a fire a few months later.

It's outstanding to see community's come together in times like these. Our area has a winter cloth's deal going on & is working real well. Between all the flooding & the state of the economy, some help is being needed all around here & elsewhere.
