A Circle Drive resident has launched a GoFundMe online fundraiser to support a neighbor displaced by a house fire earlier this month.

The fundraiser, created following a fire at 111 Circle Drive on March 8, aims to assist the resident with immediate needs and recovery expenses. “Donations will go toward temporary housing, replacing essential items, and helping him begin the process of recovery,” the website states.

The fire prompted a response from the Waltham Fire Department and caused damage to the home, leaving the resident displaced. The resident’s dog Ollie died in the fire.
