I just received this email and was asked if I would share here which of course I'll do anything I can to help:
Last Wednesday Angelo Serra’s, (a player on the Garage Bar and previously the Herd), house was struck by lightning and destroyed everything. Luckily Angelo and his family were not at home, and no one was hurt.
Angelo, Julie, Giovanni, and Dominic are moving into an unfurnished rental house until their house can be re-built. A group associated with Hilliard Soccer is gathering items for the family. If you have any furniture or items below you can deliver them directly to the Hilliard Soccer Complex on Scioto Darby the rest of this week and Mon thru Wed next week from 6:00 to 8:00 pm (see Carol).
Since they lost everything they need everything.
Furniture
Towels & Washcloths
Bed Linens - Queen & Twin
Tableware – dishes, glassware, flatware
Cookware/Bakeware
Gift Cards (Target?Kroger/Giant Eagle/Kohls)
Appreciate your support of a fellow hockey guy in their time of need.
Go Team,
Shad
I do not know Angelo personally but I'm told he's one of those guys that you just can't help but like and the same goes for his family. He is also an avid supporter of the Ohio State hockey team and and avid backer of Hockey Beats Down Cancer.
If you cannot make it over to the Hilliard Soccer Complex checks or gift cards can be mailed to:
Shad Phillips
4333 Reed Rd
Columbus, OH 43220
Shad is the Garage Bar Team captain which I as mentioned earlier is Angelo's CAHL team.
It's time to rally Columbus and support one of our own adult hockey players!! If you have the means I'm sure Angelo and his family would appreciate even the smallest of donations.
To show LTL puts his $$ where his mouth is Hits for Hockey will be making a $25 donation to help out Angelo Serra and his family in their time of need.
Every little bit counts.
Thanks to Tom Wright for bringing this to my attention.
