My sister and brother in law’s home recently caught fire, leaving severe smoke damage across all three floors.

My neice discovered the fire when returning home from school. She entered the house, to be met with thick black smoke.

The fire appears to have started in the kitchen and had likely been smouldering for most of the day before being discovered. There is damage from the ground floor up to the loft rooms.

Thankfully, everyone is safe, but the damage to their home is extensive and devastating. It will take at least 6 months to fully renovate the house before they are able to move back in.

They now face the overwhelming task of replacing clothes and essentials for their four daughters (aged 17, 14, 3 and 2) and themselves. Any support you can give—whether through donations or by sharing this page—would mean the world to our family.

Thank you to those who have already sent their well wishes and offered support. We have such a great community!
