Family of UCFSD employee seeks housing after fire burns home<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"UCFGarageDonations\"<\/a>A Kennett family \u2014 and a Unionville-Chadds Ford School District employee \u2014 is looking for housing in the Kennett Consolidated School District \u2014 after a fire left them out of their home for as much as year and destroyed almost all of their possessions.<\/p>\n

The family of Israel Rivera, who works in the school district\u2019s buildings and grounds department, is in desperate need of a place to live \u2014 and the everyday items needed for a family of six. Both the school district and The Garage, where three of Rivera\u2019s children attend programs, are leading a community drive to help the family.<\/p>\n

The word has gone out among members and supporters of The Garage \u00a0that housing was needed for the family of six.<\/p>\n

The Rivera family\u2019s home was insured \u2014 but the insurance only covers the cost of rebuilding the home, not for alternate housing while rebuilding is going on, or the cost of items inside the home. The Garage andthe school district are both working together to alert local residents to the need and asking for assistance.<\/p>\n

The family of six is temporarily living in a very small apartment in Delaware. They are seeking a house or apartment that can accommodate six people for almost a year, ideally in the Kennett Consolidated School District, where the children attend school currently.<\/p>\n

Housing is the family\u2019s most pressing need, say Garage officials. Local residents are asked if they know of any housing that can accommodate this family, to please contact Diane at The Garage, 610.444.6464 or di***<\/span>@***************<\/span>er.org<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once the family finds a place to live, the Garage will send out a list of the particular donation items needed such as furniture, appliances, bedding for the family\u2019s day-to-day needs.<\/p>\n

Until then the Riveras are in desperate need of financial help.<\/p>\n

The Garage is partnering with the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District to channel and streamline donations \u00a0so as not to overwhelm the family.\u00a0Monetary donations of cash, checks or gift cards can be sent to the UCFSD District Office at 740 Unionville Road, Kennett Square, PA 19348 to the attention of Marie Lofe.<\/p>\n

If you would like your donation to be tax-deductible, please make checks payable to Mission Santa Maria – Memo Line: Israel Rivera & Family. Otherwise checks can be made payable directly to Israel Rivera. All monies\/gift cards will be given directly to Israel Rivera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
