Support for family who lost 4 kids in a house fire

It comes with deep sadness and immense heartbreak to share that at around 1 am on the 21st of November 2021, the loving family of seven's Werribee home caught on fire unexpectedly while the family was sound asleep. The home rapidly filled with fire and black smoke and although making several attempts to save the children, the parents were only able to remove one child prior to about 40 firefighters eventually arriving at the scene. 

By the time fire crews had arrived, the fire had already spread through the house but it was too far engulfed in flames, leaving the firefighters unable to conduct an internal exam or save any of the other four young children, two boys and two girls aged between 10 and one, as they were found deceased in the fire. Part of the roof collapsed during the fire and authorities later confirmed the house was deemed completely destroyed. 

This unexpected house fire has caused the deaths of four young, bright and beautiful children, who were all so full of life and love, who had the most infectious smiles and radiated such a light that could illuminate the deepest and darkest of places. It has also left a mother, father and a son, mourning the loss of their family, a 10 year-old and three-year-old boy and a six and one-year-old girl. This has caused a tremendous amount of emotional and psychological distress on the family. The family, friends and communities of this beautiful family are also extremely devastated and in complete agony by this sudden and unexplainable tragedy which has left many imploding with unbearable pain. 

With the loss of children and their home we are hoping to alleviate some of the stress this has caused, bring them some support and return the love they have so easily shown others throughout their life while dealing with this devastating loss and rebuilding. 

We are also trying to raise as much many as we can to cover funeral and memorial services for the Turgem family and for everything that was lost in the fire, including their home.
