Three families who lost their homes when fire broke out at their Gilley Avenue apartment building weeks before Christmas have turned to crowdsourcing to get through the holidays.
Emergency support has run out for families displaced by a Burnaby apartment fire earlier this month, so they are turning to crowdsourcing to get through the holidays.
GoFundMe campaigns have also been launched for a mother of three who has lived in the building for 12 years and a one-income family of four with a special needs son. The City of Burnaby emergency support services team, which administers the provincial program, provided emergency support to eight families, but that support has now run out.
