“Dear all update on FIRE DISASTER,
Thank you for all the wonderful offers of help. With regards to accommodation we will put this on hold for the time being and might come back to you at a later stage for this.
The complex insurance will put the residents left homeless with their animals in BnB’s. We are not sure for how long. What we do need is financial help for emergencies. A number of residents have lost everything they own and some are without insurance.
Sunninghill Community will be setting up a fund called FIRE FUND to assist those in desperate need. We will be making a donation into this fund. The allocation of these funds will be done after a number of checks and balances by the Trustees. Any amount no matter how big or small will assist. If you are able to help please deposit into the following account – YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
SUNNINGHILL COMMUNITY
FIRST NATIONAL BANK
BRANCH 250-355
ACCOUNT 5882 0013 159
REF: FIRE FUND **************please ensure you put this reference.
