Drop by Patch every week to find out how to help local residents with fundraising goals.
An online campaign dedicated to raising money for a couple displaced by a Dec. 28 fire in their Sea Cliff home is close to nearing its $10,000 goal.
Sea Cliff's Mary Joyce created a GoFundMe page titled the Tanya Shohov-Bianchino Fire Relief Fund.
The page reads:
On December 28, 2013 Tanya Shohov-Bianchino's family home in Sea Cliff, NY suffered a devastating fire. Thank God that there were no reported injuries. Along with the majority of Tanya's personal belongings, she also lost the entire inventory of the cosmetics business she has spent close to 5 years building- that loss alone is estimated to be at least $50,000. Tanya was just married last November 3rd to her longtime love Nicholas Bianchino- they had just signed a lease on an apartment in Brooklyn. They were in the process of moving their things from Sea Cliff when the fire occurred. To make matters worse Nick was laid off from his job a few days ago. So needless to say Tanya & Nick need our help, love and support. If you can manage a donation no matter the size it would be an amazing act of generosity. If you can't manage a donation sending prayers and words of encouragement would mean the world to these amazing people.
A total of 136 people raised $9,365 in 10 days.
