๐ฅ COMMUNITY SUPPORT NEEDED ๐ฅ
Our Warilla community is rallying together to support a local young family who have tragically lost everything in a house fire.
A family of four, including two young children aged 11 and 6, escaped safely with only the clothes they were wearing. Sadly, the fire claimed their home and everything inside it. Years of hard work, treasured memories, family keepsakes, family ashes, furniture, clothing, children's toys, school supplies, appliances, and everyday essentials have all been lost.
They are now faced with the enormous task of starting over from scratch โ securing accommodation, replacing essential household items, clothing, food, and rebuilding their lives.
A GoFundMe page has been established to assist the family financially, and the Warilla Hotel and Lake Illawarra Hotel will also be accepting donations on their behalf.
We are seeking donations of:
โข Gift vouchers
โข Non-perishable food items
โข Children's toys and activities
โข School supplies
โข Toiletries and personal care items
โข Everyday essentials
โข Household items and necessities
Warilla has always been a community that comes together when people need support. This family is facing an incredibly difficult time, and every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference.
If you are able to help, please drop donations at the Warilla Hotel or contribute via the GoFundMe page.
Together, we can help this family take the first steps towards rebuilding their lives. โค๏ธ
