Hi, my name is Ellie and I’m desperately trying to raise money to help my mum and sister after something no family should ever go through. In the early hours of Monday morning, our family home was set on fire. My mum and sister had to run for their lives with nothing but their pyjamas on.

Seeing them so terrified and broken is something I’ll never forget. I’ve never seen them in such a state, and it breaks my heart to even imagine what they went through in those moments. In one night, 25 years of memories, love, and comfort were taken away.

Now they are left with nothing. No clothes, no toiletries, no food, no furniture – just the trauma of what’s happened. I’m asking for any help, big or small, to support them in starting again and rebuilding their lives.

They didn’t ask for this, they don’t have the money to replace everything, and right now even the basics mean the world. Anything you can spare will make such a difference. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading and for helping us through this nightmare ❤️‍
