A Lake Junaluska area family who lost their home in a fire earlier this month (Feb. 12) is getting community support. The homeowners and their six kids were displaced after the home was deemed a total loss by the Haywood County Fire Marshal’s Office. Now, thanks to Cavalry Road Baptist Church, where they attend services, the family is receiving donations to help them get back on their feet, including clothing, toiletries and housing. The church also took up a love offering for the family during Sunday services (Feb. 20). And, to help the family cover their expenses, a GoFundMe fundraiser was set up for the family. The outpouring of support from the community has raised over $21,000, as of Feb. 22. To donate to the GoFundMe, search “Assistance for the Turners” on GoFundMe.com
