I would like to let all Mother Nature's friends know that unfortunately her house burnt to the ground this morning. With great luck the children, and Lisa are all OK, very shaken and in a state of disbelief. If you would like to contact her we can pass the message on to her, as her phone,computer and everything is no longer.

OMG!!!
Thanks for letting us know she is ok, thats absolutely horrible to lose a house like that (along with all her stuff). If theres anything she needs, she just has to ask, I'm sure everyone on the forums will help out any way they can. Send her mine and Mrs Caspers best and let her know we are thinking of her. Thanks.

Thats terrible news! The main thing is Lisa and the kids are ok first and foremost but what a bad case of luck. Lisa tends to run into a lot of bad luck....which hopefully turns around for the better
She does a brilliant job of doing well with what she has by herself, maybe we can all help in someway |

Very glad to hear they're ok, houses can be replaced, people cant.
Is there any way we as a forum can help?

If she needs some clothes, my housemate & I have just given our wardrobes a clean out, I can send her some nice new-ish clothes!

But that main thing is everyone is save ... as mentioned before the house is replacable ... people aren't. Surely the forum can rally together and put together a support package.

That's very sad news indeed but the main thing is her and the kids are OK. Any information on the cause of the fire?
I'm more than happy to help in any way I can if needed. Maybe if someone could find out what she needs for herself and the kids - get a list together or something of the sort. We could all work together and try and replace some things.

Damn that is horrible news!
I'm glad Lisa and the kids are ok. If there is anything that she needs to help her get back on her feet, clothes, bedding etc, let us know I'm sure we all have stuff lying around that she could use. I'm quite happy to collect things from around Melbourne and do a trip up to wherever she is and deliver things to her, well as much as I can fit in the EB if anyone wants to send her things. Anyone else want to help out? Anyone got a trailer that we can take stuff up in? Father of MN, PM me with some details and I'll see what I can arrange.
