While my brother was at work and his daughter was at school, his wife and my 3 year old nephew were at home, taking a nap when a fire broke out in their flat.

In an absolutely terrifying moment, my nephew woke up first. With only seconds to spare, he managed to wake his mum, who immediately grabbed him and ran out of the flat to safety.

Thankfully, they both made it out alive. But the devastation that followed is unimaginable.

Their entire home has been destroyed. Everything they owned, their belongings, their memories and the place they called home are gone. Tragically, they also lost their beloved family cat, Fio.

My brother is a hardworking, single-income parent, supporting his family on a modest minimum wage in Latvia. Rebuilding their lives after such a devastating loss is something he simply cannot manage alone.

I am reaching out to friends, family, and kind-hearted people who may be able to help.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. The money raised will go towards securing a safe place to live, replacing essential belongings, clothing, furniture and everyday necessities, and helping this family find some stability again.

He and his family are based in Latvia and I am intending to do everything possible to use all resources and support him to rebuild their home.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Even sharing this page could help us reach someone who can make a difference.

Our family is incredibly grateful for every bit of kindness, generosity and support.

Let’s come together and help my brother give his family a home again. ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
