The Murphys had a roommate who lost everything she owned in the blaze and has since bounced around from place to place.

“She’s having a very difficult time of it unfortunately,’’ he said.

“We’re trying to do whatever we can to help her get back on her feet.’’

Elaine Murphy is eager to pass along all excess donations to others who require a hand up.

“We want to make sure that other peoples’ needs are getting met as well,’’ she said.
