Jackson/Pilkington/Wilms Family Fire Relief Fund

We are the sisters of Lauren, Brooke and Byron, all of whom were affected by the South Coast fires....

On New Years Eve the fires swept through Cobargo and surrounding areas, destroying almost everything in its path. Our siblings places are amongst some of those greatly affected.

Many of you have already reached out to the extended family wanting to know how you can help , so we've created this fund for those wanting to contribute in some way.

Lauren and Alex lost their beautiful old family homestead; having only lived there for the past year. The fire destroyed everything. They evacuated with just the clothes on their backs. They are beyond devastated as you can imagine. They have 5 beautiful children, they too are left with nothing.

Brooke and Ryan amazingly had their house spared. The fire burnt the surrounds up to the house, literally stopping at their front door step. Their shed, shipping container and everything outside was destroyed.

Byron and Richelle's dairy farm was miraculously saved. Byron, Henry and Chris worked tirelessly to save 200 cows, chickens, dogs, their houses, hay shed and dairy equipment. However, they have extensive damage to their property and are running low on resources needed to keep the farm operating. 

Our family is beyond grateful for all the love and concern you have shown. Its going to be a long road ahead and any donation you can make will be greatly appreciated. The money raised will be equally divided between our siblings** unless otherwise stated when making your donation. It will help with supporting them through this extremely difficult time and assisting them to get back on their feet.


**If you would like the funds to go to a particular family please note this when making your donation.
