Fire Destroyed Camden Co. Couple's Dream Home, All Of Their Belongings

LINDENWOLD, NJ — Rich Derer and Tiffany Siligato couldn't wait for their next chapter. They found their dream home in Lindenwold and planned to celebrate their wedding next year.

In an instant, they lost everything. A gas fire destroyed their home early Sunday morning, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs, according to a GoFundMe supporting Derer and Siligato.

The fire roared from their 7th Avenue house, extending to the residence next door. Nobody was hurt, but the blaze hollowed out the soon-to-be-married couple's dream home.

Derer and Siligato closed on the home only six months ago. Their wedding was scheduled for next May. Now, they must focus on rebuilding their future.

"While Rich and Tiffany are grateful that no one was harmed, the emotional toll of losing everything they had worked so hard for cannot be overstated," the GoFundMe says. "The immediate aftermath has been a whirlwind of shock and grief as they come to terms with the reality of starting over from scratch."

The fundraiser will support necessities and aid them in the process of rebuilding their home. View the GoFundMe here.
