The Woongarrah community is rallying around a local family with five children all under the age of 10 who lost their home and everything in it during a devastating fire last week.
When Fire and Rescue brigades turned up to Mary McKillop Dr the two-storey home was well alight and had already sustained major damage.
The whole family escaped from the fire and ambulance officers treated one child at the scene and further hospital treatment wasn’t required.
In a matter of minutes parents Sarah and Tristan and their five boys, Dom 9, Xavier 8, Lachy 6, Oliver 4 and Charlie 2, had been left without a house, food, clothing, furniture, bedding, appliances or any of their belongings.
This is why friend Suzanne Booth has started a GoFundMe campaign
“Even though Tristan, like a champion, was able to move quickly enough to get all five boys and their family dog out unharmed, they really have lost everything,” she said.
“We are trying to help raise funds for this lovely family to help them get back on their feet hopefully in time for Christmas for their little boys.
“If you can spare even the slightest, it will be a big help to this beautiful local family,” Booth said.
