A Go FundMe page has been set up to help the man whose house burnt down over the weekend.
No one was home when the fire broke out Saturday morning, but Smithers Fire and rescue was unable to save the house.
Lucy Gagnon organizer of the collection said the homeowner Komi Pelawelo lost everything in the fire.
“He has such a good attitude being grateful no one was hurt and saying its only stuff,” said Gagnon
