As many local residents would have heard, there were multiple sirens in Keperra this afternoon at around 2:45pm. Tragically, some dear family friends have lost absolutely everything in a devastating house fire.

This home has been in their family for nearly 50 years, filled with memories from their late father who originally lived there, to the generations who grew up within its walls. For the past 20 years, the house has been home to four brothers — Tony, Wally, Terry and John — who have now lost everything in less than ten minutes. They are left with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world. We are also accepting donations of essential items, which can be delivered to 32 Kirwan St, Keperra. If you’re able to help in any way, please reach out. Thank you so much for your kindness during this heartbreaking time.
