***UPDATE*** HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED SO FAR! THE INITIAL TARGET HAS BEEN EXCEEDED BUT WITH THE ENORMITY OF THE REBUILD SINKING IN I HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THIS FUNDRAISER GOING. PLEASE KEEP SHARING AND THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED SO FAR X

There has been a mass of wildfires in Portugal, luckily Rachel and Derge escaped with the children Ciaran and Eva, the dogs and their passports. Also the horses survived but sadly they have lost everything else. The fire raged through their farm and destroyed it all within mintues. As you can imagine they are in shock but thankful to be alive. They are currently staying with friends in Portugal. I am sure it would help them a lot to know that their friends are thinking of them all, so if you would like to donate something to let them know we all care and to just help a little to get them back on their feet then please don't dilly-dally and let's see how quickly we can get to the target (or even past it :))
