Hi, my name is Danielle, and I am raising funds for my dad after a sudden and traumatic house fire.

Evening of 22nd February, a candle accident caused a fire in his bedroom. Thankfully, he survived, but he suffered second-degree burns to his hands and is currently recovering after being treated in hospital. His home has been left temporarily uninhabitable due to smoke and water damage, with waterpipes being damaged.

My dad is the kind of person who has always put everyone else first. He worked incredibly hard throughout our childhood and never asked for much in return. Even now, he lives very modestly and worries more about others than himself.

The fire destroyed many of the things that brought him comfort in his daily life, including his computer, stereo equipment, and personal belongings. He loved nothing more than quietly sitting and listening to music, something that gave him peace and routine.

He does not have house insurance and has very limited savings, which has made this situation especially stressful for him. Instead of focusing on healing from his burns and the shock of the fire, he is deeply worried about the financial impact.

We are incredibly grateful that:

- He is safe and recovering

- The fire brigade responded quickly

- Friends have helped secure the property

However, the costs of recovery, replacing essential items, and making his living situation stable again are overwhelming for him.

Any funds raised will go towards:

- Replacing essential damaged items

- Helping restore a safe and comfortable environment for him to return to

If you know my dad, you will know he is kind, selfless, and never asks for help. He would never set something like this up himself, which is why I am doing this on his behalf.

More than anything, I just want him to be able to recover without the constant worry about money after such a frightening experience.

Even the smallest contribution or share means more than you know.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support during a very difficult time.
