Hi, I'm Jenn. I am here on behalf of my Daughter in Law, Kyra and her partner Rayden, and my grandchildren, who, along with Rayden's mum lost everything on Saturday (26th March) to a house fire.

Kyra and Rayden, along with 3yr old twins Ava-Mae and Bobby-Jae, 8-week old baby Zayne, have been doing it tough this past few years. With an eviction from their home in early March this year (due to unkempt lawns... rain. poor weather, and a heavily pregnant mum-to-be), they packed up their belongings and moved into Rayden's mum's house in Raglan.

In the early hours of Saturday morning (26th March), Kyra woke to pop sounds and the smell of smoke. She instantly went into fight mode, collecting the twins from their bedroom and ushering them outside into the fresh air. Returning to the home to collect her baby and alert her partner's mother and Rayden's 5y old son Riley, who was sleeping at the far end of the home.

All safe out on the street, they called for first responders to attend and extinguish the flames. They stood and watched as all of their possessions burned to the ground.

The baby was taken to Bathurst Base Hospital for smoke inhalation and observations and released later that afternoon. Apart from shock and disbelief, everyone else is safe and uninjured.

I would like to help raise some much-needed funds for this beautiful little blended family. They will need to start from the ground up.

The keys to her car (which is undamaged) were melted to the kitchen counter. With 3 children, it will be difficult for her to go anywhere. The cost to replace her key was quoted by a local mobile locksmith at approximately $750.

They only had the clothes they were in when they escaped, pyjamas for the children and even less for the adults.

This family has been through the ringer this past few years and this was just anothr kick to their struggling mental health and egos.

Any finds raised will be used to start again, clothes, essential items, toys, bedding, furniture (once they can find somewhere to live).

I, along with Kyra, Rayden, Rhonda and the children, aprreciate anything you can do to assist.

Much love and gratitude

Jenn
