Helping the Hruska Family Rebuild

On Sunday, August 25, Annalisa and Nik Hruska, lost their entire home and everything they owned to a house fire. At 4:30 AM they were awoken by their fire alarm and it was immediately evident they had to act quickly. Annalisa grabbed their two children, Daisy (7) and Ziggy (5), and exited the house; Nik reentered the burning home to retrieve their two dogs.

There were more than 50 firefighters present on the scene to put an end to the fire. Thankfully, everyone was able to get out of the house without any injuries.

This page is a collection of ways to support their family as they rebuild.

Clothing Drive

Music and live concerts have always been an important part of the Hruska family’s lives. It’s a large part of what brought so many friends in their community together from DelFest to the original Love Fest, an event that the Hruska family started at their home in 2015. To help replenish clothing and memorabilia that the family collected over the years, new and gently used concert shirts, hats, band memorabilia (posters, etc), and records are being collected for Nik, Annalisa and their two children, Daisy and Ziggy as they lost everything in the fire.

If you have the means to purchase something new, a few of their favorite bands are Phish, Grateful Dead, Greensky Bluegrass, Yonder Mountain String Band, Del McCoury, the Travelin’ McCoury’s, just to name a few.

Photo Collection

Friends of the family are collecting and printing photos to help restock the Hruska family picture albums.

More Details on how to submit photos coming soon.
