HALIFAX – An online fundraiser has been started for the lone survivor of a tragic fatal fire in Lower Sackville on Saturday.
The GoFundMe page has been started to collect donations for Pat Hart, who was rescued from the duplex fire on Leaside Drive while her husband, Marven Hart, 18-year-old son Trent Hart, and 11-year-old granddaughter Carys Barnes all died in the fire.
The post is attributed to 'family and friends of Pat, Marven and Trent Hart' and outlines the night of the deadly fire, calling the loss of life “unbearable.”
“Imagine spending the evening with your loved ones, singing country music, laughing and enjoying each other's company,” the post reads. “When the evening came to a close, she tucked in her granddaughter, Carys, said good night to her husband Marven, her son Trent and went to bed.”
“Her life has forever been altered,” it continues. “Her heart has been shattered in a million pieces. Her soul has been crushed.”
Officials have deemed the fire was caused by an electrical fault in the basement of the home, while the RCMP have said it's not considered suspicious.
The GoFundMe has a goal of raising $10,000 to help with “financial burdens she will now be facing.”
By Wednesday morning, the page had raised $3,825 of its goal.
