Sayville fire leaves family without a home
A June 2 fire on Marion Street in Sayville caused extensive damage to the home, forcing Dianne Flinter and her two daughter Jenna and Olivia to find housing. All of the family members and their pets escaped the fire unharmed, but “the home is going under intense repairs to fix the damage the fire left,” according to the GoFundMe page established on Dianne Flinter’s behalf.
More than 50 donors have contributed a total of $2,605 to the online fundraiser.
“We are reaching out to the community for help,” reads the GoFundMe page, organized by Mikayla Montalvo. “In the mean time the family has to find housing, replace items that were destroyed and pay for the repairs due to the lack of renters insurance. If you can, please consider donating to our go fund me and keep them in your prayers.”
