Living on the second level, Kendall Whitmeyer and her husband JR lost all of their belongings, including furniture, baby clothes, and other personal stuff. Her sister Carissa stated, "They are newlyweds and expecting."

Kasie Sullivan lived in a two-bedroom apartment with her best friend, and fiancé, and their two dogs. Their two dogs were saved by firefighters, but everything else was destroyed, and the insurance they had would only cover so much, according to her relatives. "Although Kasie has a great job and commutes to the Bronx, and she was making ends meet paying rent, insurances, student loans, and commuting expenses, her means to replace everything she owned are limited," they said. "Kasie also runs a little social media marketing company that she founded while still in college. She used this business to supplement her income while she was in school and now uses it to help her make ends meet. Unfortunately, she lost all of her computer and camera equipment.

Raymond Jones and Brittany Jones, who were recently wed, lived with their pets at the Fairways. Brittany was only able to save their dogs and nothing else in the apartment. Their friend Marianne Gresek who started the gofundme stated, "This was their first home together, already filled with memories."

According to Michele Bettino who organized a gofundme for her friends, Janet and Frank who resided in the building, they just have the clothing on their backs, but thankfully her husband was able to rush in and rescue their dog Mama.

Casey and Eric escaped the fire, their friend Kyle Durso wrote. "Our best friends lost their home on July 15th and all of their belongings to a fire in their apartment building. They and their pets are safe and sound but need to rebuild," he wrote.

Living in the Fairways were Nico, Zack, and their two dogs, Harley and Lily. In Ocean County, there was a massive search for Harley that went viral on social media (she was found four hours later). According to Brianna Barnes, sister of one of the men, "their wedding is set for October and now they have the added stress of replacing all of their belongings and covering those costs" in addition to follow-up vet visits for Harley.

"Made it out with nothing but their wallets, keys, and the clothes they were wearing," pal Allison Goodwin said of Brian Strohmetz, his girlfriend Julie, and their rescue cat. As they start to rebuild their life together, "I would like for us to come together as a community and do what we can to lessen the burden."

Josh Tafuri had only recently relocated to his Fairways apartment. His sister, Julianna Tafuri, said he was gone "on his first vacation in years to celebrate our sister Meghan's wedding" when he learned about the fire. "There are all of his possessions and his entire existence. He only has the items in his travel bag, nothing else.
