Chris Barfoot and Peter Wall said some of you would like to help us. They set this page in motion.

We are unbelievably humbled by this. The fire terrified us. I am Silvana, Andy's wife. Please excuse me, I'm still low and in a daze about what happened. I was trying to rescue the peacocks and a giant burning bale fell at my feet... It was a close thing. Some of our possessions are burned, smoke damaged or drowned... A little help would be amazing. I mean WOW! Thank you.

You don't realise who cares, until you need someone.

Thank you, so very, very much. How do we return that thanks?

Love from the Ruddle family. XX
