SHARON SPRINGS — On the morning of Monday, January 5th, Robert & Barry Waid, of Dorr’s Small Engine Repair, located on Route 10 in Sharon Springs, experienced a sudden and devastating fire. In a matter of minutes, their home and business, and everything they owned was destroyed. Thankfully, there were no injuries reported.
This family now needs to rebuild and start over with the determination and help of their community. They are in an emergency need for housing, clothing, basic necessities, and so much more.
If you are interested in helping in this community effort, you can donate two different ways: a gofundme has been started and is readily available through Facebook and/ or there is also a way to donate at the NBT Bank in Sharon Springs, who has set up an account for the fire victims. Just let the clerk know and they have made arrangements to deposit in their account.
Funds raised will help cover immediate needs such as: temporary housing, clothing and shoes, food and daily essentials, and long-term recovery and rebuilding costs.
The family wants to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and donations.
If you have any questions on how you can help, please contact Christy Lighthall on FB.
