Hello our friends Kat, Ryan and their 5 year old daughter Laila have lost everything thing in a house fire last night in Balerno. Kat Ryan and Laila have lived in Balerno for 8 years.

Laila was a true hero alerting her mum and dad to the danger and thanks to her quick thinking they all got out unharmed including Obi there 11 year old spaniel.

Unfortunately so far nothing has been salvaged from the house, I am hoping we can all come together and share what we can to help this local family in need. I am hoping to gather some pennies to help get them clothes, shoes, toiletries, a new crate for Obi. These are just the basics that we all need.

With Christmas round the corner it makes things hit home a lot more harder so every little helps.

Thank you all in advance lets do this guys.
