More than £4,000 has so far been raised to help a family whose lives were turned upside down by a house fire in Daybrook on Saturday (19) night.
The Gofundme page has been started by a relative to help the family rebuild their lives following the blaze at their home on Bailey Close.
Natalie Wimhurst, who started the fundraiser, posted a message about the appeal on the fundraising page.
She wrote: “I’m making a fundraiser to build funds for my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their six children who have lost their home and all their belongings to a house fire.
“They are very close to my heart and have lost absolutely everything.”
Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue chiefs say an investigation has now taken place on Monday (21) at the property.
They say the cause of the fire was undetermined due to the heavy damage to the property.
Group manager Jonathan Holford said: “I would like to praise the response of our crews from across the county who got the fire under control and out quickly.
“Thankfully all the family escaped the house uninjured.
“We would like to remind people to test their smoke alarms regularly and have an escape plan in the event of a fire.”
