"It's horrible, it's truly heartbreaking and all of us, all of our hearts are breaking for this family so I know that across the City, County, State we're all doing what we can for them," Mother of two Amy Anderson said as she walked into Peace a Pizza.
The restaurant started the fundraiser because they had friends and family members who worked with Katie Malone and felt for the family after the tragic fire.
Frank Amtmann, was the godfather for the oldest daughter in the Malone family, Bridget. Amtmann said her father was in his wedding, and he loves that family.
"Whenever you went over to their house, you could really see it, they cared about each other and really enjoyed being with each other, they enjoyed sharing things with others," He said.
With the Go Fund Mepage at $300,000 and multiple fundraisers, Amtmann feels the family will be able to move forward once everyone is out of the hospital, "I think it's definitely a step in the right direction for them, I mean they lost everything, they literally lost everything, except for the clothes on their back."
"I think it's awesome that literally people all over the world have come out to help out," Amtmann said.
