My Mother-in-law Jan has lost her family home at 78.

West Coast

On Wednesday the 21st of October my mother-in-law Jan woke to everyone's worst nightmare. Her family home of 60 years burnt down, she's lost a lifetime of valuable possessions that she has worked hard to attain. We are beyond happy that she made it out safely, however she is now left with having to start over, absolutely everything is gone, as you would imagine at this age it is daunting as to where to begin. Jan has given so much to the community over the years and we know there is so many of you that would love to help her on her journey to start again so she can continue to enjoy her retirement.
