The community of Rockyford, through the great work of the Rockyford Lions Club, are showing support for a local couple who lost their home.
On the morning of December 20, the home of Kurtis Seeley and Jessie Fuch burned. The couple had only been on the acreage near Rockyford for a day, and one thing they did upon moving in was install smoke detectors.
Early that morning the smoke detector alerted them to the fire. They escaped unharmed.
The Rockyford Lions Club came through for the family and donated $6,000 after the incident.
They showed even greater support on February 8 when they hosted a Steak Dinner at the Rockyford Community Centre for the benefit of the couple.
“We had a really successful fundraiser for the Seeleys and we raised just about $4,000 there,” said Lion Darcy Burke.
This puts the total from the Lions to about $10,000.
“Everybody was thrilled they were with us to put on this fundraiser, if there is any bright part about it, smoke detectors save lives,” said Burke.
