AND 24-YEAR-OLD LUCAS WERE BOTH
TAKEN TO A TWIN CITIES HOSPITAL
WITH LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.
A FAMILY WHO LOST EVERYTHING
IN A DEADLY FIRE IS GETTING SOME
HELP FROM THE COMMUNITY.
THE FIRE HAPPENED ON APRIL 14TH
AT FOOD MARKET IN ST. PAUL.
FIREFIGHTERS SAY THAT HER FIANCE
AND TWO TEENAGE CHILDREN LIVED
ABOVE THE SHOP AND CALLED FOR
HELP WHEN THEY SAW SMOKE COMING
FROM THE DELI AROUND 1:30 THAT
MORNING.
77-YEAR-OLD STU GEER, A
WELL-KNOWN BUTCHER, GOT TRAPPED
IN THE BASEMENT AND DIED IN THAT
FIRE.
THE FAMILY LIVED IN THE UPSTAIRS
APARTMENT FOR 12 YEARS, AND
TODAY, PEOPLE GATHERED AT THE
AMERICAN LE JOHN HALL IN NORTH
ST. PAUL TO HELP THEM GET BACK
ON THEIR FEET.
LIVE MUSIC, A SILENT AUCTION,
AND A RAFFLE, AS WELL AS A BAKE
SALE, RAISED MONEY TO REPLACE
SOME OF WHAT THEY LOST.
THEY LOST EVERYTHING.
THEY LOST THEIR HOME, THEIR
BEDS, EVEN LOST HER
GRANDMOTHER'S ASHES.
THEY LOST EVERYTHING.
SO GOT SOME FRIENDS TOGETHER AND
WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THAT.
TODAY'S EVENT GOES UNTIL 6:00
THIS EVENING, AND IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO DONATE, WE DO HAVE A
LINK TO THE FAMILY'S GO FUND ME
