A business friend of mine, Thomas Skrodzki’s family home in Westfield caught on fire this weekend and it was a total loss. Thankfully no one was home and no one was injured, but his family has lost all their possessions and are in need of community support.
They are currently looking to find a home to lease for a year. If you know of a home that is available for this family, please let me know.
Please read this list and see if you have any of these items to donate or a gift card that you can offer. You can drop the items to my attention at Park Square Realty: 44 Elm Street, Westfield, MA and I will make sure Tom’s family gets the items.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and help in spreading the word.
