GoFundMe started for two Kelowna men after the house was damaged by a fire
Brendan and Carson’s Fire Recovery Fund hopes to raise $ 10,000
A GoFundMe recovery fund was set up for two Kelowna men whose townhouse complex was damaged by a fire that devastated a neighboring construction site on Glenmore Road earlier this week.
The Brendan and Carson Fire Recovery Fund is hoping to raise $ 10,000 for Branden Harkin and Carson Judd to help cover the cost of damage caused by the fire.
“All said and done, well over $ 10,000 in damage to personal effects without insurance to cover their loss,” wrote campaign organizer Eric Wilson. “Since the building was only a few months old, there was no money in the shift unit, so all units have to pay an additional $ 10,000 in damages to cover these costs.”
An evacuation warrant will continue to apply to properties within 300 feet of the property at the intersection of Glenmore Road and Union Avenue as a crane “presents a potential risk if it has been structurally compromised or damaged.”
According to Wilson, Harkin and Judd have two weeks to repay the shift fund, with the money raised “would have the greatest impact on them” to repay those fees.
“We want to do our best to raise $ 10,000 to at least improve damage recovery and help Branden Harkin and Carson Judd,” said Wilson. “We have a strong community here in Kelowna and we are confident we can help them with that [sic] times.”
