Westfield

First off, thank you so much to everyone who has already helped Thomas Skrodzki and his family. As you may know, they lost their home and everything in it to a fire this past Saturday. I had written a post requesting specific clothing items and within days there were bags of donations arriving at Park Square Realty at 44 Elm Street, Westfield

I was with two other REALTORS in Westfield who are working to help Tom and his family and we all agreed that at this point a donation or a gift card might be the most useful for the family as it is becoming difficult to track what items have already been donated. If you are willing and able, perhaps a gift card to somewhere like Sears, Walmart or Target would be good as they can use it towards both clothing and household items. Additionally, if you know someone at a restaurant or store who could work out a company donation for food or vouchers, that would be terrific, too!

Tom had this on his Facebook page today:

Once again our continued thanks and appreciation go out to everyone’s generosity and kindness with the donations and help while we go through this adjustment period. Several have requested they wanted to donate financially so an account has …been setup with Citizens Bank at Stop & Shop in Westfield. Donations can be made to the “housing fund – Skrodzki’s”

I am very proud to be part of a community that rallies and bands together to help a neighbor in need.
We truly feel blessed by everyone’s support, these have made this time much easier on us and our children. We thank and give praise to God as well everyday that no one was hurt in the fire and as a family we are safe.
