THE Bodmin community has begun to rally around a family whose house was devastated by a fire.

Multiple fire crews from four fire stations were called to reports of a fire at a property at the junction of Queen’s Crescent and Broomfield Drive in Bodmin at 2.50pm on November 10.

The fire devastated the property with severe damage to the roof area.

It has left the family who live at the property with little left, leading to appeals within the Bodmin community to help them in their time of need.

In an appeal to residents, Adie Dove of KBSK said: “Beautiful community of Bodmin, a local family need our help.

“After a devastating fire to their home, the family has been left with only the clothes on their back.

“At KBSK we are pulling together as much as we can but through the power of our community I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else can support with this appeal.

“At the moment we are looking for clothing and toiletries.

“Clothes sizes are Women 18 + and men XXL

“Once we can get them back on their feet, we will be seeking home essentials.

“Any kind of donations would be so greatly appreciated. Let’s wrap around them with so so much love!”

A ‘gofundme’ page seeking to raise money for the family has also been setup.

Setup by Kelly Taylor, she said: “I am fundraising for a family who have just unfortunately lost everything in a house fire, from the clothes on their backs to all childhood memories they hold.

“Unfortunately, this isn’t the only heartache this family are dealing with at the minute, their lives were already turned upside down because the heart of the family is also battling with cancer.

“This family really are going through it, and I would love it if we could all pull together and help them through this rough time.”
