Staggering amount raised in just 24 hours after family in Tullamore lose everything in house fire

A staggering amount has been raised in just 24 hours after a family in Tullamore lost everything in a house fire in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Emergency services attended the scene of a fire at the residence in the Oakfield area of Tullamore, County Offaly, at approximately 4:25am on Sunday morning. No injuries were reported and gardai say enquiries are ongoing.

Following the fire, a fundraiser was launched to raise money for the family. 

The post on Go Fund Me says the while thankfully the entire family was uninjured in the fire, they have been left with nothing as their home has been 'devastated by the fire'. 

As of lunchtime on Monday, almost €10,000 has been raised thanks to almost 300 total donations.
