Help for Celly

Donation protected

My name is Leanne Roberts Zaccone. I am the sister of Celly Roberts I have set up this go fund me page to help my sister through this most difficult time.

As I'm sure many of you have heard, Heidi Lueders, president of the Bully Breed Rescue, tragically mistreated and neglected 5 dogs that were in her care. These 5 dogs, named the Fairfield Five, have received much attention locally given how sad and horrific the situation was. The outpouring of sorrow and support for what happened to these poor creatures was overwhelming. These dogs were tortured and left to die in cages.

What some of you may not know is that the owner / landlord of the house where these poor dogs perished has been left to deal with the devastating mess that was left behind.
Celly Roberts (the home owner) bought the house many years ago using her life savings. It was her dream home. She was renting it out in the hopes of one day being able to live there again herself.

Celly's home is now uninhabitable due to the extreme neglect of her last tenant, Heidi. She is left dealing with the enormous costs of the clean up. The house needs to be gutted due to the all the dog and rat feces, maggot casings and urine that has permeated the floors/walls etc. She is still responsible for the mortgage on a home that can no longer be rented, so that is setting her back an additional $2500 ! Month. Add to that hardship, the lawyer’s fees and mounting bills, Celly is deeply affected. Sadly, her insurance company is unable to help. The Hazmat company's quote to gut everything out, including walls, floors, her beautiful kitchen, appliances, and both bathrooms....so pretty much Everything, was $58, 000. Now she is waiting for the General Contractor to quote her for the entire re-build, which will most likely be even higher.

Most of you who know Celly know that she is one of the sweetest people you can hope to meet. She is the type of person who would give you the shirt off her own back. This situation has been a nightmare and the financial and emotional stress has taken a toll on Celly's mental and physical health.

If you can help out by donating, any amount would be greatly appreciated and will help Celly rebuild. EVERY dollor helps, and if you cannot donate, then please share,Thank you!
