This coming Saturday will mark one month since a large fire destroyed a La Crosse restaurant, and several apartments above it. On Sunday, the community helped out the people who lost their homes in the India Curry House fire.

Items went up for sale at a silent auction Sunday, to benefit people left homeless by an April fire on 4ht Street

“This is where people see that we’re helping each other and see what happens,” Stolpa says. “So if we can start the ball rolling, from here on out we can start building…a life, a way of living where that we can promote helping people.”

Stolpa says he knows a few of the people who lost close to everything in the April 28th fire.
