A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family of an eight-year-old boy killed in a Sunday house fire in Athens.
The boy, identified by friends and family as Bronson, was killed in the fire that fully engulfed the home on Upper Oak Leaf Road.
Police released some details yesterday and said the deceased would not officially be identified until an autopsy was complete.
The boy’s mother, April, said he was the only one in the home. She broke two ribs trying to rescue him.
Money being raised will go to help the family cover funeral costs and help to begin to rebuild their lives after they lost everything in the fire.
Bronson would have turned nine this coming Saturday.
The family also lost three dogs and two cats in the fire.
