A picture posted on Facebook of what remained of a Cleveland home destroyed by a Friday fire has brought together members of the community hoping to offer support.Everyone has seen our post about the family who experienced a fire early this morning. The outpouring of donation has been overwhelming to say the least.
As firefighters we often refer to our peers as being part of the brotherhood. Tonight while visiting our brothers and sisters of the Rich Square Fire Department in Northampton County for their annual fundraiser I witnessed something amazing. Even tho our communities are 116 miles apart they felt our communities need. The members made the decision to take up a collect for the family. A total of $225 dollars was raised. The Cleveland Fire Department as well as the Cleveland Community will be forever grateful for their generosity.
That's awesome. I spoke to the family last night. They are so appreciative. ..thank you all. .
How awesome is this.
Please share this story so that we may be able to help this family.

I work at the new animal hospital off Cleveland School Rd (Aardvark Animal Hospital). If the family needs somewhere to board the dogs while everything gets figured out, I would be happy to keep them with me at no charge. I am so sorry for this family for losing their home. Please private message me if this is something they are interested in.
Would anyone be willing to help cover or contribute towards the purchase of dog food for the puppies? I am fostering them for as long as the owners need. They have been amazing puppies and such a joy to have in our home. Happy tails all around!! I want to keep them on Science Diet Small Bites Puppy as that is what my two small dogs are on too and have been for years. So I know it’s a good brand. Also in need of a harness and leash for both babies. I would greatly appreciate any help. I have covered the cost of their vaccines and some other things already so I would greatly appreciate any help I can get to further take care of these babies the best I can.
Can someone PM me and give me a contact number or I will give you mine. I just cleaned out a boat load from our two homes and have a lot of things I can donate including toiletries, furniture, clothing (they are our size), dog food, dog crates (almost anything they need dog wise) would like to donate cash as well. Thanks!
For the son, is that a boy's medium or a man's medium? Sounds silly to ask but hard to tell at that age!
Thank you Melissa! Do you think a medium is about a 10?
I spoke with the family Sunday. They are looking for a place to rent again. They woul like to stay in this area and be able to take the two small indoor dogs. 3 bedroom
I think I have stuff for the daughter possibly mom too.
Shared! (and mom is the same size as me... I’ll be dropping off some clothes today!!)
Does anyone know what size dogs they have?
Donations are coming in! We have an awesome community. We are also excepting monetary donations for the family.
Just to clarify. Daughter 13, shirts -women small or ex-small, youth large Son 12, shirts- men’s large or extra large, shorts- 38. Thank you everyone so much! Y’all are amazing!
We don’t have any clothes that size but will be happy to donate gift cards if that will help.
Jenny I am not sure what size the sun is but I have a huge bag of size 10 jeans that are almost like new so if he can wear them I would love we love to donate them to this family
Thank you Cleveland Fire Dept for the opportunity to bless those in need. I saw the trailer full of donations that you were getting ready to drive over to family. Helps restore my faith in humanity when folks come together to help. Thanks!
How wonderful to witness our community coming together for this family. I will be sharing and dropping off woman clothes & hygiene products.
Have shared and received responses. Donations are coming this weekend. We're out town but as soon as we're back on Tuesday, I'll have items to bring by as well.
I know right now it's clothes and personal effects, but we do have a 55" TV we would like to donate. Would we be able to drop this off at the fire station?
Who do I coordinate with, I think we have shoes for the son
Chief Ellington- where is a good drop off place for the stuff people are donating for this family?
Looks like Cleveland FD did an awesome job saving their cars.
Going to check what I have. Is Mom tall, average height or short? May have some clothes to donate.
I was driving home last night and drove past this and i was hoping to hear that family was un harmed. Shared this post.
I will gather or send $$ soon. I'm so sorry. Thankful they all and dogs survived by hearing the fire. Bless.
How sad!!! I’ve been going through clothes, I might have some things to donate.
I’ll bring some things by tomorrow
