LIVONIA, N.Y. — The town of Livonia came together for a benefit to help a family who lost their mother and home.

The mother of Kristopher Rowe's three children, Jessica Ruch, died in December.

Then on New Year's Day, the family's home burned down. 

Rowe's extended family and community has since tried to provide support.

More than 400 came to a spaghetti dinner at the United Methodist Church, raising money for the family to rebuild.

"I'm at loss for words, honestly," said the Oldest Rowe daughter, Jaylee. "It makes me feel so cared about, so loved. And I just love that everyone in the community and everyone that's not even in the community could come out here and support us and help us to rebuild our house."

Kristopher Rose's cousin, Nicole Smith, organized the event.
