Kev & Lorna's Home
Today, as some of you know, Kev and Lorna went through what many have endured before, and something everyone hopes never happens to them. Today, my parents lost their home to a devestating fire.
Within a few tiny hours, what took almost 30 years to create, was burned to the ground.
We watched the emergency response crews do everything they could, but unfortunately, there is now nothing left of the home my siblings and I grew up in.
There is so much pain in this.
It's the heartbreaking sound of your mother wailing as she watches a lifetime of memories burn before her eyes. It's the gut wrenching vision of your red eyed father as his knees give way and his head falls into his hands. The two strongest people I know, literally brought to their knees.
"It's only stuff," dad kept saying. "We still have everyone. That's what matters. We just have to start again."
We are so great full that nobody was home at the time, however 3 pets where in the house when several gas bottles and the 3 cars parked underneath began exploding. The 2 cats managed to escape the blaze with minor burns. The beloved dog however, was not so lucky.
I would like to take this oprtuinty to thank everyone who came and held us as we cried. The family that were here in a heartbeat, even though you were not near. The overwhelming amount of you offering a place to rest their head at night. So many amazing hearts holding up my more than deserving parents has warmed me. You are all truly beautiful people.
I am setting this up for anyone who may be willing to offer some financial support to Kev & Lorna.
Starting back at square one is never easy, and after this heartbreaking event, I can only imagine the struggles they are yet to face.
Thank you xx
