A GoFundMe is in place for a family in Ledgeview who lost their house in a fire Aug. 13.
The Loseys’ house burned down in the 3900 block of Agatha Christie Avenue in Ledgeview. Firefighters responded around 9 p.m. Aug. 13. No one was inside at the time of the fire or was injured in the fire, according to the Ledgeview Fire Department.

The money from the fundraiser would go towards clothing, food, and housing. The GoFundMe also includes information about donating clothes to the family and how to contact the family for dropoff.
