The Somerville PBA would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has reached out to support our brother, Officer Vito Spadea, after the devastating house fire that left him with a total loss. Your generosity, kindness, and willingness to help have been overwhelming, and Vito asked us to share how truly grateful he is for this community.

At this time, Vito and his family are still working through housing arrangements, which makes storing donated items difficult. If you have already purchased items, we kindly ask that you please hold onto them for now until their housing situation is settled.

For anyone wishing to help immediately, gift cards, Visa cards, or donations sent directly to his Venmo: are the most helpful options. These will allow the family to address their most urgent needs.

As they move forward, they will eventually need furnishings once they secure a new place. We will post updates when that time comes. An Amazon Wish List is also being created, and we will share that link as soon as it’s ready.

In regard to food donations, the family kindly asks that anyone wanting to assist please consider gift cards to local restaurants or food establishments, rather than canned or non-perishable items.

Thank you again to everyone for showing what true community looks like. Your support means more than you know.
