Story
On Wednesday 21st of December one of my dearest friends family home set alight. This itself is such a horrid thing to happen so close to Christmas, but unfortunately not everyone made it to safety. Her mother and little sister became trapped and didn't make it out of the house, this left an 18 year old with her father to lose everything they love, family, possessions and a place that was safe for them. Although this is so sudden after the tragic loss I feel drawn to the fact that although materialistic things can never heal what's happened, nobody deserves to have nothing at Christmas. The sole purpose of this page is to help financially towards them rebuilding their lives and not having to worry financially about finding accommodation and eating. Please contribute anything that you can and let's hope that as a community we can make our love and support heard for Milena and her family.
Thanks, Sophie & Lauren xX

8 years agoI am honestly so overwhelmed with how many people have contributed to this and we've exceeded target all within the first day. I've been in contact with Milena and herself and her father are so thankful to everyone. For those of you asking about clothes donations, Braintree and Witham Times office in Braintree town are collection the donations and I'm arranging to go pick them up. If you're wanting to donation any clothes, Milena is a size 10-12 and size 8 shoes and Rafas is an XL and size 11 or 22 shoe. Thank you everyone so much again. 💜

My daughter raised this money by selling some of her things to try and help Emilia's family a little. Emilia was in some of Rosie's classes and they were also in the Action Equality group together 💗
