GoFundMe Thursday: Help The Farelly Family

Last year, Bianca Coppola’s best friend, Nicole Farrelly, lost her home in an electrical fire. She has been working to raise money to help the displaced family get back on their feet.

The fire happened Dec. 16, 2012. Nicole and her family were not injured in the blaze, but they are still recovering from it this holiday season.

“Nicole is entirely fearless,” Coppola said in her GoFundMe campaign description. “She operates in a way that is unfathomable to most -- possessing a heightened regard for the people in her life, and consistently exuding an inherently selfless nature. She contributes so immensely to the positive way in which her friends and family view the world; through her exemplary demonstration of love, compassion, and commitment to freedom she amplifies the confidence of virtually everyone she meets. I hope to show her the same love and support that she has shown me.”
