Story
Photographer Gemma has been through "a bit of a weekend" with a major house fire.
She's safe and has a temporary roof over her head in cramped accommodation and Insurance will do what it does, but theres three small children, they have some clothes, but no toys. A few pounds from her friends will help the short term problems for the children.
Gemma works hard, but at this time of year work dries up and we know she'll bounce back, but it's cold and the kids need something now

6 years agoWow! 24 hours ago we set out to raise £600 to help the short term problems associated with losing your home through fire. The plan was to raise enough for clothes for the 3 under 5 year olds. We've now smashed that target and all the money will be absolutely invaluable as winter kicks in and the family start rebuilding their life. Thank you
