Two families in Manson have started GoFundMe fundraisers asking for help after their homes were destroyed by a fire Tuesday evening. The Gomez and Duarte families both live in trailers in the orchards of Manson. Both report the fire getting to their homes Tuesday between 4:30 and 5 o’clock in the evening.

“My parents are hardworking people, and for us to live in that home, my dad had to work tirelessly in the orchard to provide for us,” Kimberly Duarte wrote on GoFundMe. “Unfortunately, the cause of the fire is still unknown. The fire started behind our neighbor’s house, but our home suffered the most damage, and we lost all of our necessities.”

Anything you can do to assist these families is greatly appreciated.
