Hi my names kell and as some of you are aware our beautiful friends lost their home today day ! This family had literally lost everything nothing could be saved ! We are trying to raise some funds to help them rebuild their lives for not only for razzle and Chrissy but for their kids . Their youngest is only 3 years old and witnessed this devastating event. We understand times are tough at the moment and really would appreciate any help . This family is born and bred in the small town of barellan . And we know, how well small communities rally behind the family in need of help .so if anyone could spare a dollar or two it would be appreciated greatly. I will post more photos and update later when we have had time to digest this ,the goal is to reach our target of $30000 this includes a new shed home $25000 and $5000 to furnish and make it liveable. Darryl and Chrissy already have a block of land ready to build on . Any extra funds raised will go to help others that were also affected by the fire ,ie the neighbour who has broken both ankles jumping the fence whilst trying to put the fire out . He’s currently in a wheelchair, Chrissy had been diagnosed with Bell’s palsy due to the stressors of the fire . This beautiful family just carnt catch a break at the moment ! We will be organising a 100 club as an extra fundraiser to help reach our target as well as a silent auction to be held at a later date . What we personally seen , smelt , heard and felt will forever be etched into our lives forever ! Can you imagine being in a neighbouring town having a catch up lunch with friends and your friend gets that phone call and asked to attend this fire as they are volunteers for the rural fire brigade!!! Chrissy frantically trying to get hold of Darryl her brother tim and 3 yr old daughter bonni who were at home at the time the fire broke out and them not being able to answer their phones due to being inside the house at the time ? Let’s just take a moment and let that sink in ? How would you feel or react to this ??? How Chrissy managed to drive home from lunch 45 minutes away still amazes me with her strength. I personally wouldn’t have been able to function let alone drive ! From the time the 000 call was made till police /ambos came was 55 minutes!! A huge round of applause should be given to the rural fire brigades that turn up and quickly got it under control. Thankyou !! The children’s beloved pet squid the cat somehow managed to either escape or was blown out by the explosions that occurred was burnt but I think he’s personally used up all of his 9 lives !!! So many other people have been affected by this incident not just Darryl , Chrissy and the kid but other people like for instance the two neighbours either side , the landlord, fire fighters our community even our family have all been impacted by this ! What was seen , heard, smelt and felt will last forever and would never want even your worst enemy to go through this experience!
so please know this go fund me page is legitimate not a hoax or scam ( carnt believe I have to even say that ) !! And of course we have police reports incident numbers and the like ! My family personally has NOTHING to gain from this other than to support our friends and get them back on their feet ! If you have any questions or concerns please contact me
thanks again to everyone that has helped along the way . Kellie
