Devastating House Fire - Nikki and her girls

UPDATE-

Hello eveyone , sorry things have been a bit manic but WOW, it just shows how great the community of Montrose are!! We have smashed our target and gone above and beyond expectations currently sitting over £6k. Apart from the cash, there has also been a lot of clothing, household, toiletries and gifts donated so again Thankyou to everyone who has donated

Just wanted to give you all a little update, Despite the fact that Nikki has been advised that is could take a substantial period of time (years) for her house to be habitable, Nikki is still waiting on Angus Council getting back to her on accommodation but what there saying is she will be housed in a 2 bedroom temporary accommodation flat and they have advised her she will then need to go online and bid for a 3 bedroom (amazing, helpful and caring, not!) On a positive note, Nikki’s head is obviously all over the place just now and she’s still trying to process things and be there for the girls but she’s asked me to let you all know how much she has appreciated every single penny and donations she has recieved. ❤️

Meantime, I have had a lot of private messages asking exactly what Nikki and the girls need, like I said at the start she has nothing and will need to start from scratch so I have left the go fund me page open and also set up an amazon gift wish list to assist those who are asking what they can donate. I have included a lot of household items, to shampoo, toilet roll, to duvets, some winter warmers for them and also few christmas things so she can try give the girls the Christmas they deserve.

Hope this helps and on behalf of Nikki and the girls

Thank you again ❤️

Nikki has also asked me to let you know she currently doesn’t have any social media but once she gets a better phone and settled to some normality she will Thankyou all herself.

It's with great sadness that this morning there was a bad house fire In our local community of Borrowfield, Montrose, a family home has been destroyed this morning due to the fire. The family are delighted that everyone is safe, and obviously, that is their main concern.

However, nikki and her girls have nothing apart from what they are standing up in. Not only has Christmas gone up in smoke, but it is also Elodie and Elsie's birthday in December just days before Christmas and they have lost everything.

I know times are tough for everyone at the minute, but as a small town and community can we please attempt to ease their loss and pain? If anyone can find any pennies to spare to help get them back on there feet and give the girls the Christmas and birthdays they deserve.

If any local businesses can assist, please get in touch.

The family are aware we are doing this and appreciative of any help. After all It's what good neighbours do. ❤️

Thank you
