HELP THE EGAN FAMILY "Give From The Heart"

If you do not have a facebook page and are unable to link to our site..you may contact Shelley Licknack at Slicknack1@verizon.net. We thank you all for your support.

A local family of 5, recently lost their house in a fire in Laurel Chase. They lost the entire contents of their home. Imagine what that must be like. An organization has been set up on facebook called the "Help The Egan Family". If you are on facebook and would like to see ways to help out this family, that would be great. They are in dire need of anything, everything and as soon as possible. They have 2 boys who are about to start college and one who has just graduated. Clothing, giftcards, whatever you are able to give.  

There are 2 people running this site: Michael Minkin and Shelley Licknack, both from Toms River.  We are trying to pull together as a community to help one of our own who is going through such a tragic time in their lives.

Any items may be dropped off at: Shelley Licknack  33 Swain Avenue Toms River, NJ 08755 email first so we may connect. We are looking for gift cards; school supplies; clothing..anything.
