I want to surprise my sister and her partner for Christmas with funds to help them find a new home and replace lost stuff after a fire ❤️

by Phoebe Kane in Oxford, England, United Kingdom

My sister Beth and her partner Gwyn have lost their home and most of their possessions after a fire broke out in the middle of the night a few days ago. They’d just finished moving in after many months of struggling to find a place, when a chimney fire left them fleeing in the middle of the night with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They’ve lost most of their stuff, and everything that has survived has to be professionally cleaned to get rid of fire and smoke damage.

Beth and Gwyn are wonderful people who don’t want to put anyone else out by asking for help, so I’ve started this fundraiser to hopefully surprise them with enough money to get them back on their feet for Christmas. The two of them live together in Wales, where Beth works as an artist and Gwyn does woodworking. They have been in the process of releasing a music album together as well, but this fire has stopped them right as they were getting ready to send the result of all their hard work into the world. We’re not sure how much of their music equipment or work materials will be usable yet, but all of their work will be put on hold with the amount of physical and emotional labour they’ll have to do to salvage what they can from their home.

Anything you can give will make a huge difference to help these two lovely people in this scary and difficult time. Thank you ❤️
