On December 21st, the Boonsboro community suffered a loss with the house fire of the Walsh Family off Old National Pike. The family, which includes their son and his three small children, had just put the children to bed and were getting ready to go to sleep themselves when they noticed the back of the house engulfed in flames. Everyone got out safely, but the house is a loss, 3 days before Christmas.
Trinity member Jen Poffenberger is a close family friend and they have asked her to help coordinate any donation response for the family. Jen has compiled a list of needed items and is in the process of setting up a GoFundMe page for financial donations.
Trinity and its members will be making a donations to the family and we invite you to join us in helping this family.
From Jen Poffenberger:
To best help the Walsh family, I am helping along with Megan Row to coordinate their needs.
At this time clothes, gift cards, and financial donations would be very much appreciated. There will also be a GoFundMe page set up (link coming shortly). We have several families that are taking care of the kids Christmas.
Please email me at Jenjpbaskets@aol.com for the address to drop off donations over the next several days.
