Cancer & burnt down house in cold European winter, but hope dies last

$220 of $16,000 goal
Given by 8 generous donors in one year

House burnt down one night and left my uncle who just had lung cancer surgery in debt and without a decent home at cold winter times

International

My uncle just had a lung surgery as he had cancer, however what happened after left them in ruins. One night at 2 am they woke up (luckily) for the smoke and noise... Their house caught fire and burnt down. They've been left behind with everything ruined after the fire and the water flow that stopped it. If it was not enough, they live in Hungary where winter has already arrived and minuses are common and they only have one room that they can heat up to live in.

It's really important for uncle to be at a warm place after the lung cancer surgery, so while the family tries everything back there to help them I decided to do my bit with YOUR generous help as well.

As they didn't have insurance all rebuild costs are on them that they can't afford easily if at all.

I can't be there to help in other ways now, so I decided to set up this page in hope that I can send them some money to cover some of the costs of all their re-build, furniture, electronics, clothes and everything that is replaceable (because we know not everything is:().

Please remember that every dollar is worth for a lot over there, so your help might become much bigger than you thought it could be!

I want to help my uncle, aunty and cousin to be able to live in decent circumstances again.

Use of funds

The donated money will be sent to my uncle and his family and they will spend it to rebuild the house and replace the interiors (like curtains, furniture, whiteware, etc).
