Friends of the Tarpley family are asking for help.
The Tarpleys, of Greensburg, lost their home in a fire Sunday on the 400 block of Harrison Avenue.
A GoFundMe page was started to help them rebuild their lives.
A.J. Tarpley is a standout basketball player at The Kiski School. He also played at Greensburg Salem and Greensburg Central Catholic.
His father, Anthony, is a former Jeannette athlete.
Marissa Tarpley is the mother of A.J., Alaysia and Destini.
While no injuries were reported, a cat died in the fire, and the family lost their home of 17 years and most of their belongings.
Another cat is being treated by a local veterinarian.
