PAINESDALE -- The Painesdale family whose home was devastated by a fire over the weekend is now receiving support from a local school.

Homeowner Becky Mulari says her family lost everything in a fire last Saturday night.  Although the damage isn’t as visible from the outside, their second floor was completely destroyed and the home is now uninhabitable.

Mulari's three young children attend South Range Elementary School where administrators are setting up a drop-off site and asking community members to donate clothes and other household items for the family.

"Thank you to everyone who has helped or is going to help,” said Mulari.  “This has been a horrible thing to have to go through and I appreciate everything."

Items can be dropped off at the school daily from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Organizers are specifically asking for pillows, blankets and clothing:  girl’s size 10/11; boys’ sizes 9/10 & 6/7; woman’s size 16/18 or XL; men’s size 36/32 or XL.
