Two days ago, a fire from an unknown source spread into the garden while my sister was in the house with her children. It was a terrifying experience for the whole family. The fire caused around five thousand pounds worth of damage—my brother-in-law's gardening tools, the kids' bikes, the paddling pool, and other things that made up our summer. It's been devastating, especially with the school holidays now ruined for the kids.

Thankfully, our home itself is intact, though some windows have melted and had to be boarded up. But the damage to the garden has been huge, and they are still shaken by how close it came. Their family dog can't use the garden or be at home at the moment, so she's staying with our parents until things are safe again.

We're raising funds to help rebuild the garden and get things back to normal for the kids and for the dog to come home. Anything you can give would make a real difference.

Any amount helps, and we're so grateful for anyone who can support us during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you
