Federer beats Berdych on ‘home court,’ heads to 11th Wimbledon final

<p>On April 23, we lost our home and nearly everything we owned to a fire at 31-33 S. Main St. in Ashley. </p><p>Thankfully, we were able to make it out alive with our daughters and pets. </p><p>The amount of donations and support we received from the community in the weeks that followed was overwhelming. We felt that this was the best way to thank everyone as there are just too many people to thank. </p><p>We would like to thank the firefighters from Ashley, Hanover Township, Sugar Notch, Nanticoke, Kingston, Fairview Township and Mountain Top for their service and risking your lives to try to save our home. </p><p>We would like to thank the family, friends and strangers who stopped by with donations, clothing, toys and WWE action figures. We have been in shock at the amount of love and kindness we have seen during this tragic time. </p><p>We are so grateful for everything. Not often enough are there good things about our area, but we have truly seen the kindness and love of Northeastern Pennsylvania during this time.</p><p><strong>Ashley and Nick Brandolino</strong></p><p>Warrior Run</p><style>
