A GoFundMe has been started after a Burdekin family lost their Home Hill home to fire last week.
Jimmy McGrath and Tan-gina Campman, along with their three children, returned from a shopping trip on the afternoon of Friday, March 8 to find their Hurney Road home engulfed in flames.
Fire crews were unable to contain the blaze before the house was destroyed.
A friend of the family, Angie Williams, started the fundraiser to raise funds for the family.
“All funds raised will be put towards things like new housing, furniture, household appliances, clothing, shoes, linen, towels, food, school supplies, basically all things that are needed to start over new,” Ms Williams said.
“Jimmy and Tan-gina have three beautiful children, their youngest is only a few months old.
“Tan-Gina's father was also residing at the home and all of his belongings have also perished.
“Thank goodness no one was home when the fire started as, above everything else, their lives are the most important but have no home to go back to and no belongings.”
Facebook posts sharing the GoFundMe have already been met with comments offering the donation of funds and goods like washing machines, dryers, tables and chairs, but Ms Williams said no donation is too small.
“I am reaching out to our amazing community for support to help out this family who are in need of our help,” she said.
“Any donations including second hand items like children’s clothing, toys, household items, appliances and furniture would be greatly welcomed.”
