Help Debbie and her family get back into their home.

Debbie and her family need our help.

Just two weeks after giving birth to her second baby, there was an explosion and Debbie and her husband had to evacuate from a massive fire in their building with nothing but their two children in their arms.

The store beneath their home burnt to the ground, and the fire was so fierce that it took firefighters the whole night to bring it under control. By some miracle, just 2cm of cement kept their apartment from being destroyed. But while the walls are still standing, their lives were left in limbo.

They left the fire with nothing, and more than a month later, there is still no progress in getting them back home. Their flat remains unlivable, and the endless bureaucracy is draining their energy at a time when they should be focused on bonding with their little ones and adjusting to life as a family of four.

Debbie and her family need our help to keep going.

Your support will help Debbie and her family with essential costs, including:
  • Smoke cleaning and restoration to make their flat safe and livable again.
  • Securing temporary accommodation so they don't have to crowd in with relatives while waiting to return home.
  • Therapy and emotional support to help them recover from the trauma and PTSD caused by the fire.

And much more, as they piece back together the everyday comforts of a stable family life.

If you can give, please consider doing so—every contribution, big or small, will help. And if you can't, sending them a prayer or a kind thought means just as much.
