HALIFAX – An apartment fire last Friday in Clayton Park has inspired a close friend of one of the residents affected to start a GoFundMe page to help a man and his young son get back on their feet.
Natalie Hamilton says she started the online campaign to help the pair recover some of their losses, adding the response has been good so far.
“There have been personal donations of clothing and sporting equipment for the young boy because he had a sporting tournament starting the next day,” Hamilton said.
“People have been giving the father cash donations as well… but anything would help them because they lost everything,” said Hamilton.
Hamilton adds it hasn’t been easy for the single dad, and they seek to return to normal.
“They’re coping,” Hamilton said. “The father just wants it to be over because it’s too hard for him. He just wants life to get back to normal.”
