Help Gemma and her girls rebuild their home.

Hi my name is Gemma Cook, I am a parent friend of Gemma Bate, a Stannington mum of four girls.

On Tuesday 11th January, the family survived a fire at their family home. After reading Gemma's story on Facebook I just wanted to do something to help and thought others in our local community, school and friendship networks would too. Therefore I decided set up this go fund me page to try and help Gemma some way towards getting her and her girls get back on their feet a little.

Thankfully they are all safe and well, however the devastation they are left with is so bad it has left them with very little.

Please take time to read Gemma's post and if you do feel you are able or would like to help or support in any way however large or small, I know it would mean the world to the family.

"I'm incredibly grateful for the firemen that saved my house last night, my neighbours that took me and my girls in, the paramedics that checked us all over and helped me and Lilly, the red cross that came and gave us all clothes parcels because we had nothing, Sienna's school who have brought us a food hamper and uniform/clothes for Sienna. We will be homeless and staying with my mum for months while my house is repaired and made safe again. We have been incredibly lucky that we are all safe and none of us were hurt but the devastation that is now my house leaves me broken. I'm very grateful that we are safe but feel so lost as to what's going to happen and what I'm supposed to do going forward. To everyone that has helped me, asked about me and the girls thank you so much it means more than any of you will ever know. Now I just have to figure out and start to rebuild everything"

Thank you for reading, sharing and donating.
