The Lines Family lost everything in a house fire. They had to walk away with only the clothes on their backs.

Nationwide

My name is Vicki Lye. I am creating this page to help a family who are friends of ours. Yesterday was devastating for them. They were travelling on sh1 to go fishing and had two of their three children in the car with them, when they were hit by a car which had crossed the centre line. Luckily the trailer they were towing received most of the impact. The children were in shock and suffered from whiplash but apart from that everyone was OK. Their vehicle is damaged and just drivable. Their day got Worse! They were having a BBQ with friends and everyone was outside when one of their visitors noticed smoke coming from their daughters bedroom. On investigation they found the room alight. Luckily no one was in the house. They couldn't put the fire out and the whole house burnt down and they lost everything. They live rurally and it took fire trucks 40 minutes to get there. They even lost their car in the fire. They have nothing. They need our help please.

Renee and Travis have insurance but this will not be enough to cover all that they have lost.
