December 4, 2020 — More than $100,000 has been raised to support the families of four Maine fishermen who were lost at sea last week.
The Coast Guard suspended its search off the coast of Provincetown, Mass. last Tuesday night.
Jeff Matthews, Ethan Ward, Mikey Porper, and Bobby Blethen were all on board, according to officials.
A GoFundMe page set up by the family that owned the vessel has raised upwards of $110,000.
“We have set up this page to support the families of the F/V EmmyRose and to ease their financial burden,” Rosalee Varian, whose father owns the boat, wrote on the page. “These four families lost a husband, a father, a son, a grandson, a brother, and a nephew right before the holidays. These families need all the love and support that our community can give.”
