Community Unites to Support Young Girl Following Mother's Tragic Death in House Fire




In the wake of a devastating house fire that claimed the life of her mother, Kimberly Kloc, Makayla is receiving an outpouring of support from the Western New York community. Alongside financial contributions, residents have donated essential items such as clothing to assist Makayla during this challenging time.

The fire, which occurred on Central Avenue in Lancaster, resulted in the destruction of their home, taking with it countless memories.




In response to the tragedy, community members have rallied to help. Kelly Reddington, whose niece is a friend of Makayla, initiated a GoFundMe campaign aimed at providing various forms of support for Makayla.

The fundraiser has already surpassed $30,000 with donations continuing to come in.

"This heartbreak comes just months after Kayla lost her grandmother to cancer," states the GoFundMe. "Now, she is not only grieving the loss of her mother, but she is also left without a home, belongings, or even the comfort of her two beloved cats, Cassie and Rat, who are still missing and may have escaped the fire."




In addition to financial support, the community is also collecting items for Makayla. The GoFundMe page includes details about her sizes and preferences for clothing:

-Shirt size: XS

-Pant size: Small

-Shoe size: 8 to 9

-Favorite colors: Baby pink and/or black.
