In the early hours of Wednesday 24/09, around 1:30am my sister Tracey and her family experienced something no one should ever have to go through. They lost their home to a devastating fire.

Inside the house was Tracey, Levi and their little girl Keziah (just 5 years old) and our family members Zac, Tre and Jamahl who was also living with them was away for work. They were woken by the sound of their dog Biggie barking, alerting them to the danger and saving their lives. Without him, this story could have ended so differently.

While we are beyond grateful that everyone made it out safely, the fire has taken everything they owned. Their clothes, possessions, memories, and the place they called home.

To make things even harder, my sister Tracey has also lost her small business. She had just officially opened her eyelash studio on Friday, September 19th, after spending her entire savings renovating and setting it up. What was meant to be the start of an exciting new chapter has been completely destroyed. Leaving her not only without a home but also without the business she worked so hard to build.

As a family, we are devastated and heartbroken. Watching my sister and her family lose everything is something I can’t put into words. That’s why I’ve started this fundraiser, to help them rebuild their lives, piece by piece.

Any donation - big or small, will go directly towards supporting Tracey, Levi, Keziah, Zac, Tre and Jamahl as they begin the long and painful process of starting over. Your kindness will help cover essentials like:

clothes, food, accommodation, furniture and hopefully give Tracey the chance to rebuild her dream business again.

If you can’t give, please share this page to spread the word. Every act of kindness will make a difference in helping them get back on their feet.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your compassion and support during this time.

With love and gratitude,

Jasmine Howard (Tracey’s sister)
