Single mum and daughter have lost everything in a fire

My beautiful friend Emma and her amazing 9yr old daughter Charlotte have lost everything in a house fire over the weekend, sadly this also included a beloved pet cat Vivien.

Unfortunately they had no insurance and on a single income, starting over will be a struggle.

Please help us rebuild their lives.

Charlie has specifically requested cat toys as poor Lucas Spookas also lost all of his belongings in the fire - bless her little heart

UPDATE 11:30pm 10/8 Just over 48hrs and we are fully funded - my heart is exploding from all the love and kindness that has been shared for two of the dearest people in my life.

Emma and Charlie are in good spirits and pass on their love to each and every single one of you xox

UPDATE 2:00pm 10/8 Emma, Charlie and Lucas the cat now have a temporary home thanks to the kindness of Shannon from the Kooky Kid Clinic. We will be organising the drop off/collection of donated goods in the coming days. We might need some help with collection, so if you have a ute/van/truck, please get in touch.

Thank you to every single one of you who have contacted me - my appologies for any delay getting back to you. My main focus is to make sure my girls are being cared for and supported in the most basic way.... its very hard to type when you are trying to hug. I will get back to you all shortly.


UPDATE 7:00pm 9/8 Its been 24hrs since the fires were extinguished and we have had an amazing outpouring of support. We have pretty much a house full of items just waiting to go into their new home.

Massive thanks must go to the following people/organisations
