Bonjour amis et famille,

Avec beaucoup d'autres personnes dans notre ville, nous avons tous perdu quelque chose dans cet incendie dévastateur qui a brûlé la communauté de Lytton.

Le jour de l'incendie, après s'être assuré que la famille de Dylan était en sécurité, Dylan Phillips a fait preuve d'un courage et d'une bravoure incroyables en retournant au feu et a combattu l'incendie avec nous pendant plusieurs heures.

C’était un moment crucial pour sauver nos maisons et celles de nos voisins. Dylan était un héros cette nuit-là et malgré le fait qu'il ait sauvé nos maisons, il ne peut toujours pas rentrer chez lui. Cette famille est confrontée à une énorme incertitude, ils ont 3 enfants qui auront besoin de soins à domicile, leur école et la garderie ont été arrachées de leurs mains, Dot ne pourra pas travailler car elle devra s'occuper des enfants, Dylan a également perdu son emploi. La famille Phillips a besoin de votre aide

You can read their story below ⬇️

«Dylan and Dot were born in Lytton and have lived most of their lives in Lytton B.C. Growing up they were good friends at first until meeting each other again in 2018, ever since then they’ve been together and are raising three beautiful children.

They have recently just got married in May of 2021 but have been living together as a family since December 2020.

With the help of family and friends they moved into our house, as Dylan had starting working for the village of Lytton in Public Works and was training to become the next Water Treatment Operator for the town. Dot had worked part time for Klowa but due to Covid she has since been let go.

We are a family and this was our first step into providing a good future for our children, the house was quite old being built in the 1920’s but it was new to us and gave us room to grow as a . The was our beginning, our first chapter of our life story, we pictured years in the house at least enough to help us get to our next step. 7 months in our own place really makes your imagination go and help set your dreams into reality but that’s all we had was those 7 months as the fire literally forced us out of not only our home but our town as well.»
