Ridgefield Single Mom Who Lost Home in Tragic Fire Needs Help

RIDGEFIELD, CT — A Ridgefield family who lost everything in a fire at 39 Midrocks Road needs help to rebuild. The fire started in the basement from a clothes dryer and quickly spread to the upper level of the house before the upstairs bedrooms imploded in a fireball destroying everything in the house.

The girls smelled smoke and got out safely. The single mother of two teen daughters wrote on the family's GoFundMe page:

"I have raised them solo since they were 3 and 4. Times have been rough on occasion but they rarely complain, work hard in school, both are honor students, have a great sense of humor, kind hearts and are active in basketball and track. They are always so appreciative and supportive of me. Everyday I thank God for these two girls in my life. Two weeks ago I came very close to losing them both in a house fire."

The mother said she started the fund to furnish the girls' bedrooms with furniture as well as clothing.
