Elma resident Dottie Narrance is worried about her granddaughter and her granddaughter’s family.

Nichole and Brady Erickson, along with their children, Landon and Riverly, had to move into a motel Wednesday night.

A fire in the 300 block of South Second Street in Elma completely destroyed their neighbor’s apartment and the Erickson apartment in now unlivable due to water and smoke damage.

They lost everything, Narrance said, “their beds, crib, dressers etc. They didn’t have insurance. Five-year-old Riverly lost all the things dear to her — all her movies and toys even the Valentines she just got to take to school.”

Narrance has set up a GoFundMe account — Erickson Apartment Fire — to help her family. She has heard from many people who would like to donate clothes, furniture, household goods, etc. but at this time there is no place to store all those things so the monetary donations will be most helpful.
