A GoFundMe page has been started by Hannah's daughter, Jasmin Jordan, which has so far raised £1,080 of a £7,000 target to help her rebuild her life after the devastating fire.

The GoFundMe page says: “On what should have been an ordinary day, my mum's life changed in an instant.

“A freak fire has completely devastated the static caravan she called home, leaving it structurally unsafe and beyond repair.

“Not only has she lost her home, but she also lives there so she can help care for my grandmother, making this loss even more difficult for our family.

“My mum has always been the kind of person who puts everyone else before herself. She volunteers with food banks, delivers Christmas food parcels to families in need, and never hesitates to help anyone who needs a hand. Now, she's the one who needs support.

“We are raising funds to help her find a new home and begin rebuilding her life after this heartbreaking tragedy.

“Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference, and if you're unable to donate, sharing this page would mean the world to us.

“Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time.”
