Chrissie and her six children aged 2-17 have been left without their home, and 80% of their belongings destroyed, due to a house fire on Thursday night (27 May) in Thornton Heath, CR7. The community has rallied round and found clothes for the kids and essential items, but there is so much to replace and this will come at a cost.

For anyone who'd like to contribute, the funds will go straight to Chrissie to spend as needed on clothes, toiletries, household items and any other additional costs to come put of this situation. For example, if they're re-housed a long distance from home, they will need to cover fares to travel to and from the children's schools and appointments.

This fund has been set up by the family's neighbours on Kynaston Crescent, to enable anyone who wishes to help to make a contribution. Thank you to everyone for your support.
