A
Monroe family forced out of their home by a fire is getting much-needed
help from a complete stranger.
Dave
Kuban owns the Planet Pizza in Norwalk but lives in Monroe.
His daughter goes to school with one of the kids whose family lost everything
in a fire at the Great Oak Farms complex last week.
The
Monroe Fire Department sent News 12 pictures of the fire. No one was
hurt, but fire officials say the family can't move back in yet. They're
currently living with neighbors.
Kuban
says his wife wanted to do something to help the family, so he set up his pizza
truck at the corner of Hattertown and Easton roads in Monroe and is
making lots of pizza pies.
All of the proceeds will go to help the family. He says he's already received more
than 300 orders and counting.
"[I]
never personally met them. I just know they're from the town, and
everybody talked great about them,” said Kuban. “We felt like we had to step up
and do something and this is what we thought of."
The
pies he is slinging are pre-order only, but there is a donation bucket for
people who want to drop by and help.
