A family of six have lost their home after a devastating fire broke out at their Wicklow residence.
Jacqueline Sherry returned home with her little girl on December 10 to find their Rathnew home had gone ablaze. The fire was sparked by the family's tumble dryer and has left Jacqueline and her husband Owen, alongside their four young children, at a total loss weeks before Christmas.
Determined to help, Jacqueline’s friend Glenda set up an online fundraiser for the couple, which has amassed over €25,000 to date. Local community groups have also stepped in to raise awareness of the family’s plight on Facebook.
