Please help The McErlean Family from Maghera

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

On Christmas morning, The McErlean family from Maghera experienced their third unimaginable tragedy, their world was turned upside down when a devastating fire completely destroyed their home, beyond repair.

Thankfully, Colette and her son’s Oisin and Conleth are safe, but have lost absolutely everything – cherished memories of loved ones, personal belongings, and the place they called home.

The McErlean family have been no stranger to heartache in their lives. What was a family of five, sadly became a family of three in a short space of time.

The family lost their father and husband Joe 90, who passed away suddenly.

Their brother and son Paddy was then killed in a tragic accident, aged 14.

Unfortunately, Oisin and Conleth’s mother Colette has been suffering ill-health the past number of years and now possibly requires 24/7 care.

As the family begin the difficult process of rebuilding their lives, they desperately need support. The financial burden of replacing belongings, securing long term housing and starting from scratch is overwhelming.

We realise this is a financially challenging time of year for many. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way in helping the family get back on their feet.

Thank you in advance.
