STONEHAM, Ma. - It's been a month now since a fire destroyed their Emery Court home and barn and killed one of their horses. Now John and Susan Donovan are looking for help. Neighbors and friends Amy and Jim Scally have organized a fundraiser for the Donovan's and are asking for your help.

"This family has always opened their home and barn to neighbors and strangers alike, to visit, ride and enjoy their horses," the Scally's said on the gofundme page. "This genuine kindness is a rarity, and did not go unnoticed. As friends and neighbors, we are kindly requesting donations of any amount. All funds raised will go directly to John and Susan to help them begin the process of rebuilding their lives and home.''

Anyone interested can go here to donate or get more information.
