A fundraiser has been launched for a Dublin family of six after a blaze at their one-bed apartment today.
The incident happened in Dublin 8 in the early hours of this morning. According to a GoFundMe launched by an extended family member, the family woke up to the sound of alarms at 2am.
“They had to flee immediately in the middle of the night with four small children,” the fundraiser said. “Their home and belongings have been devastated — clothes, shoes, furniture, toys, baby items and essentials are now smoke-damaged and/or burned, leaving the family with very little that is safe to use.
“All of their key household items have been affected, including beds and mattresses, couches/sofas, tables, wardrobes, and other furniture, as well as essential day-to-day items. One of the children has suffered burn injuries, and Jordan has also sustained burns. One of the children has severe autism, and the entire family is understandably traumatised.

“Given the extent of the damage and the fact they were already living in severe overcrowding (a one-bedroom flat with four small children, including disability needs), this family will now need to be rehoused, and they will need help to set up a new home when suitable accommodation is secured.”

The GoFundMe creator said they are raising funds to support them through the immediate emergency and to help them rebuild once they are rehoused. Over €2,000 has been raised so far.
