Numerous GoFundMe Accounts Established To Help Oxford Flood Victims

OXFORD, CT — In the aftermath of the devastating flooding which has pulverized much of the town of Oxford, a number of GoFundMe accounts have been established to aid some of the victims.

One account was established to assist Randi Marcucio, an emergency room nurse whose ranch-style home on East Hill Road collapsed. The single mother of a 3-year-old son had just bought the house in May 2022, according to town land records, and lost everything they had. With no flood insurance, none of the damage will be covered.

The moment of the house's collapse was caught on video and shared with WFSB-TV3, and may be viewed here.

As of 2 p.m. Tuesday, the GoFundMe had received more than 1,300 donations totaling $78,276, more than halfway to the goal of $150,000.

Other accounts were set up to help Olde Sawmill Mini Golf, Creative Starts Daycare and a number of individual homeowners who sustained considerable damage during the powerful storm.

A complete list of GoFundMe accounts may be found on the Oxford, CT Facebook page.

The Oxford Historical Society has postponed its 17th annual Peach Festival, originally scheduled for Aug. 24, until Saturday, Sept. 7 from 4-7 p.m. at the Great Hill United Methodist Church, 220 Great Hill Road, Seymour.
