Kennington family loses ‘safe place’ as their home burns down

Laura said the road had been busy that morning, with people going to or coming back from work.

“Everyone came and got us coats and some slippers so we didn’t get so cold.

“It was the worst day of our life, but… the community of Kennington has been amazing.

“They’ve been so warm and welcoming with donations of clothes, food and just wanted to talk to us.”

Laura said the bungalow had been built by her grandmother.

“I’ve been there sixteen years, so it’s been like watching my whole life just go,” she said.

“We had a new floor put down and a new dishwasher but it means nothing when I know the boys are OK.

“It’s just heart-breaking to know that [our] safe place is just all gone.”

The family is now staying with Laura’s grandparents, who live nearby.

“We could’ve gone into emergency accommodation but I don’t know where that would have put us,” Laura said.

“With the boys’ autism and learning disabilities, we want to keep it as normal as possible.”
