Please help the Leonard Family

Please help my friend Maria & her family.

They are victims & have become homeless overnight due to her next door neighbours house going on fire.

They have nothing, their lives have been unimaginable & absolutely horrific since, living from hotel to hotel, everything in their home of 24 years destroyed completely with smoke damage, beyond repair .

Maria's husband Martin is living with serious life long illness and they have two young autistic children. Going to bed Saturday the 6th April & being woken at 4am with thick black smoke ripping through their house, you can only try to imagine what these people went through that night, that fear of not knowing they would get out of the house alive, they left bare foot with only their night clothes on them. The fire services told them , it's a pity the house didn't burn as the smoke damage left is worse.

24 years of living in one house, their family home & having to live in hotel to hotel & not knowing where they will be put next , it's appalling & heartbreaking to see.

You can't put a price on 24 years of life, it's impossible!!

Their two autistic children are so traumatised from that night they wake screaming in night terrors, they can still smell the smoke of them.

Their little family dog who both children loved dearly is in foster care, this innocent families lives have been ripped apart & destroyed by no fault of their own. It's truly heart trenching.

So I beg you all, please donate any amount, no matter what it is, it will be greatly appreciated, they have a small plastic bag between them , that's it, they own nothing, specialised cleaning company confirmed everything is destroyed beyond repair.

Again you can't put a price on 24 years of a families life.

The children have nothing, everything is damaged, their parents are emotionally & physically exhausted with the worry & stress of the night in question and where there future will be.

Look around you , your living in a comfortable safe home, so please dig deep, I beg of you , let's support Maria & her family in anyway we can .

Thank you ❤️
