August 7, 2019-Community raises more than $50,000 to keep man with special needs as neighbor
GLOUCESTER TWP. – Some people really know how to make a guy feel at home.
Lamar Harris’ neighbors were so set on having him stick around, they raised more than $50,000 to pay off the back taxes he owed on his house.
Harris, an adult with special needs, has lived on Cherry Circle in Gloucester Township all his life. But over time, he lost the family members who cared for him and handled some of the everyday tasks he could not. Harris’ mother died when he was 8, his grandmother when he was 12. Just in the last few years, he lost his father and brother, according to a GoFundMe campaign that was launched July 23.
