Devastating House fire - everything lost

Wendy asks

Why don't you approach the local storage units and ask them to donate one short term?

Brendan

Hi Wendy, thank you for your question. We have thought about doing this but it becomes difficult with having to collect or having to meet at the storage unit when things need to be dropped off. My partner and I are working full time (my partner works shift work) and my sister is due any day now so not everybody is free to help us out with collecting items. However we have just been informed with good news that she has found a new place to move to around the middle of July which we plan to do a collection then once she’s got the keys 🙂

John asks

Hi Brendan, we have a dressing table with mirror, and probably a few other household items that your sister could use. No hurry, just let us know whe she is setting up her new place.

Brendan

Hi John, sorry for the late response I’m just getting around to answering the questions now. We have just been informed with the good news that my sister has been approved to move in to a place around the middle of July! We have had a lot of offers for big household items and my sister is overwhelmed by the offers. We are unsure what she has said yes to from other people such as people who have donated through her midwifery service. Are you happy if we get back in touch with you via email once she’s moved in regarding the items you’ve stated above?

Thank you,

Brendan

Feel free to email me if you have any questions - anagilling@hotmail.com
