We'd love to hear from you!
This spring, the Viprino family’s clamming boat—their main source of income—burned down at the Wellfleet pier. Chris had spent all last summer rebuilding the boat from the ground up and had just finished the final upgrades to get it ready for a full season of local fishing. Since the end of last summer, he’d been out on the water nearly every day—fishing, clamming, and keeping their family afloat (literally and figuratively).
The fire took almost everything—tools, gear, marine electronics, clothing, safety equipment. While insurance may eventually help with some of the boat itself, it doesn’t touch the rest: the gear, lost income, the labor to make a new vessel seaworthy, or the cost of re-outfitting everything needed to fish and clam.
The Greg Hill Foundation is committed to supporting the Alison and their young daughters in their time of need. We will be matching all donations up to $5,000. Please consider making a donation and supporting the family in their time of need.
