After a devastating house fire on Wellington Street left two sisters homeless, the family received an overwhelming outpouring of support from their local community.
The girls’ big sister took to a Facebook community page, reaching out for help with securing basic essentials. They had found a unit but were still in desperate need of two queen-sized mattresses to get started.
In her heartfelt message, she mentioned how funds were tight but was hopeful that the community might be able to lend a hand.
What followed was an incredible response. Offers poured in for not only mattresses but also additional items such as bedding, towels, kitchenware, and even toys for the children. The generosity didn’t stop there…locals continued to offer cupboards, drawers and other needed furniture to help the family rebuild their home.
The family is truly overwhelmed by the community’s kindness and willingness to help.
Strangers took time out of their day to go through their belongings and find things they could donate. Messages of support flooded in, with many eager to assist in any way they could.
The family expressed their immense gratitude, deeply touched by the kindness of their neighbours, friends and even strangers who rallied together to help them in their time of need.
A later comment from the older sister read: “Thank you so much to everyone who has taken their time to message, comment or go through their houses to give what they can!
“My family is very very grateful…thank you.”
