Community / Fundraising page set up to help couple whose home was destroyed by fire
AN ONLINE fundraising page has been created to help the couple who lost their home in a devastating house fire in Wadbister.
Judith and Geoffrey Johnson lost their home and belongings following the fire on Thursday afternoon.
The fundraising page, set up by family friend Ryan Thomson, said “thankfully they are both OK, but they have lost all their possessions and essential items”.
“We’ve set up this fundraiser to assist in getting essential items and and help them during this terrible time.”
Within the first two hours of the fundraiser being publicised more than £1,300 had been donated.
The fundraising page can be found here.
