Two Families Unite After Devastating Fire in Toms River

Our hearts are with two families who have experienced an unimaginable loss. Laurie, Brian, and Declan Mullin, along with Ashley Ira and Aliyah Segalla, recently lost their home to a devastating fire in Toms River. In a matter of moments, their house and many of their belongings were gone. Thankfully, everyone is safe, but the road ahead will be long and overwhelming.

Laurie, Brian, and Declan Mullin, along with Ashley Ira and Aliyah Segalla, recently lost their home to a devastating fire in Toms River. In a matter of moments, their house and many of their belongings were gone.

Thankfully, everyone is safe, but the road ahead will be long and overwhelming. They are now facing the challenge of finding temporary housing, replacing essential items, clothing, and everyday necessities, and beginning the process of rebuilding their lives.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help ease some of that burden and to remind them that they are not alone.

Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping these families get back on their feet and focus on healing and recovery.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping them in your thoughts.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
