Hi, my name is Tara. I am fundraising for my friends the Bailey’s Unfortunately they have lost everything they own in a housefire.

Early hours, Tuesday, 12 December Angie woke up to the sound of a bang followed by screams in her Birkdale home.

Unable to get down the hallway to her son due to the flames, she managed to escape via climbing out of a small bedroom window.

Unfortunately, the only way 18yr old Cohan was able to escape the blaze, was by going through the flames, without going into much detail, he is currently in hospital with significant burns to his body. We are hoping for a speedy recovery for Cohan.

This family has unfortunately lost everything and did not have contents insurance.

The great people at Mangrove housing have arranged a home for them.

The family is in need of everything you can think of for a home.

I understand Being this close to Christmas everyone is stretched, if you are able to donate anything new or any near new good working items will not be turned away and would be greatly appreciated.

Donations will be collected at mangrove housing. Please contact Yolanda to arrange a drop-off time.

If you are able to spare a dollar from the bottom of our heart, we would appreciate it.

The boys are aged, 18, 12, and 10

Clothing sizes are men’s small - medium , 12, 14 16 boys

And women’s 8 to 10
