A Cambridge man who’s run a Christmas turkey drive for over three decades now needs help himself. Fire raged through the Rich Street home of Tony Roberts yesterday leaving him homeless for the next couple of months.

No one was hurt. CTV reports Roberts was shaken when he arrived home early yesterday afternoon to find fire crews working to put out the blaze.

Roberts has a bad heart and has cancer. The cause is believed to be electrical related and damage is estimated at $100,000.
