Story
April and Josh spent the last year building a narrowboat to live on, on 22nd September a fire has destroyed all but the hull. We are raising some money to help them rebuild their life, as their insurance only allowed 3rd party cover. April has burns to her hand requiring skin grafts and Josh has been in intensive care with severe burns. If you can help them in any way, please do.
Here is the story in the local news
On hearing that the boat is not salvageable, the engine, all their posessions, tools, clothes and the interior structure is gone, we have increased the target to £25k, in the hope that they can find another place to live, afloat or otherwise.
