FUNDRAISING pages have been set up to help the four families left homeless by the devastating fire in The Prinnels.
A discarded cigarette flicked carelessly towards a garden fence started a blaze which gutted a terrace on Walter Close and left those who lived there with nothing.
Caroline McGregor set up a GoFundMe to help her neighbours - donate at www.gofundme.com/f/6tjcy-help-our-neighbours
The page says: "Hi my name is Caz and I’m asking the wonderful people of Swindon to help four lovely families who have just lost everything in a devastating house fire.
"Sadly all four houses were affected and they are now homeless. There are children affected too and they are all heartbroken. If you can donate no matter how small I’m sure they will be truly grateful."
Meanwhile, the daughter of one of the families affected, who lives in Wroughton, has set up her own fundraiser for Darren, Theresa, and Sam Castree - donate at www.gofundme.com/f/my-parents-has-just-lost-everything
She writes: "Hello, I’m Shelby daughter to Darren and Theresa.
"I have made this go fund me page as my mum and dad and little brother have just lost everything in a house fire.
"They lived in this house for 22 years. I'm absolutely gutted for them, the fire was no fault of theirs it started at a different house and spread to their home.
"Everything they own is ruined, they literally only have the clothes on their backs, nothing else.
"I'm asking if anyone could please donate to help rebuild something little for them, giving them a starting point and giving them a little bit of hope in this sh***y time.
"Anything would be appreciated, I understand cost of living has gone up and understand this is a big ask.
