Family friends of Peregian Beach family Damien and Janine Steele and their two children who lost everything in the middle of the night in a fire that completely burned their home beyond repair on Wednesday 21 January have launched a gofundme page to help them.
Justine Smith said the family live and work in Peregian Beach and are a big part of the community.
“They escaped only minutes before the fire got out of control, in their pyjamas with their dog – they now have no home and no belongings,” she said.
“Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, their contents are not covered and are now facing overwhelming rebuilding and living costs on top of losing everything precious.”
Justine said as close friends of the Steele family, she knows they work hard, not only for their family home, but to help their community and friends.
“They are always the first to offer support and lend a hand. Let’s pull together and get this family back on their feet,” she said.
Any donation, no matter how small, will go toward emergency expenses and an immediate living option, replacing basic necessities and contributing towards replacing household items and rebuilding their lives.
“Thank you for showing compassion, love, and support during a time when this family needs it most.”
