Durban family lose everything in tragic fire
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
We received an e-mail that broke our hearts and we knew we
should do something to help the Gerber family, but we need your help.

Darren Maule chats to Jeanecke who wrote to us with this tragic story. Take a listen:
We received a distraught e-mail from Jeanecke, telling us how her parent's house caught alight two days go and they lost everything they had inside the house – clothing, furniture, toiletries etc.
According to the e-mail, the fire started in her cousin's room. They tried putting it out themselves, but next thing they knew the whole house was ablaze, 90% of the things in the house had been set alight.
We got a hold of Jeanecke to hear more about this tragic event and to find out how we could help her and her family from this tragic ordeal.
