All three occupants evacuated the home and sustained minor injuries, Lebron reported.

“Thankfully, Susan Sterphone-Stryker and her boys are safe. The boys were transferred to St. Barnabas burn unit but will be okay. That is the good news; the bad news is they lost everything,” said Cheryl Crisp, who created the GoFundMe page.

“For as long as I have known Susan Sterphone-Stryker, she has always been the one helping others, creating meal trains, collecting donations, and taking in children. She now needs our help,” Crisp said.

The GoFundMe has set a goal of $50,000 for the family. As of Sunday morning, it has raised nearly $30,000. If you would like to donate to help the family, click here.
