OUR SAY: A time to help a family in need
IN light of Saturday night's tragic house fire, the time has come for our community to band together.
Nick Czugaj died tragically after flames engulfed his Warwick home.
Now, his family is forced to deal not only with the tragedy, but the shock of it occurring without warning.
It's difficult and sometimes a little awkward, but as close-knit community, providing support is something we do best.
Helping Nick's family doesn't have to be exuberant or sacrificial.
Thoughts, prayers or simply providing space and respecting their privacy is a wonderful start.
A Warwick family is in mourning, and a sense of grief will ripple through our community for weeks, but against adversity there is no time but now for us to band together and say, "I can help".
One immediate thing needed by the family of Nick Czugaj is financial assistance.
A funeral is never a cheap venture, especially one so unexpected like that at the hands of a tragedy.
You can donate to assist the family at: www.gofundme.com/ nickczugajfuneral.
Donations will be needed for Nick's mother who was in hospital during the time of the fire.
We'll keep you posted as soon as they family are ready to accept donations from the public.
For now, keep the Czugaj friends and family in your thoughts and prayers.
