A GoFundme campaign was launched to support the family of Eric Dubé and Myriam on the side of Price who lost everything on Wednesday in the fire of his house. Their loved ones want to help them go through this difficult period.
The fire broke out in the morning. The emergency services were called upon to go around 10:30 a.m. on rue de l’Eglise.
Myriam Côté had left to renew the granddaughter of her partner in the daycare. The father was at work.
“The fire started when there was no one in the house. It would be of electrical origin. It started in the cellar. The house is not a total loss, but all that is inside is contaminated or burned. There was so much smoke in the house that nothing could be seen. My daughter, Vanessa, tried to get the dog, but he died, “said Eric Dubé’s ex-spouse, Guylaine Sergerie.
The couple have two boys aged 10 and 14. Éric Dubé also had two children with Guylaine Sergerie. The latter is ready to accommodate the family while they can get back on their feet.
“Eric also lost his mother in early March. He was in preparations for funerals at the end of the week. So he lost his mother’s memories. It’s very heavy for everyone. Even if we have not been together for over 15 years, Éric and I are best friends, ”says Madame Sergerie.
Collection of funds and donations
The Red Cross came to the aid of the Price family.
As the settlement with insurance may take some time, the daughter of Éric Dubé, Vanessa Dubé-Sergerie, decided to launch the campaign “Fund for my family who went to fire!” »On GoFundme to provide essential needs.
Nearly $ 2,300 had been raised on Thursday morning.
“Several people asked Vanessa to start this because they wanted to help. Eric does mechanics and he helps everyone. Often he does not ask for a penny. He was not comfortable with this fundraising campaign, but we made him understand that they were four people with only what they have on their backs, ”explains Guylaine Sergerie.
