Residents rally behind Lisa and Aaron following house fire
Several collection points have been set-up to help the family who lost everything in the fire.
DURBAN North residents are rallying to help the McIlroy family whose home burned down in the early hours of Saturday morning.
It is unclear what started the fire at the home in Beckenham Place but no injuries were reported.
Lisa Bobbert and Aaron McIlroy are two of the most well-known stage performers in the country and were away in National Arts Festival in Makhanda when the fire broke out.
Durban North resident and close friends with the family, Kathryn Singery, has also been coordinating collection efforts for the family
“I’m overwhelmed at the support shown by the North Durban community for Lisa, Aaron and their children. My phone’s battery hasn’t gone past 20 per cent because so many people have been contacting me hoping to help in whatever way they can. Their generosity and kindness shown has been admirable,” she said.
Contact Singery on 082 789 1057 if you’d like to help out.
Several collections points have also been set-up for the family including Corfield Logistics, Abrey Eco Park, 5 Abrey Road Kloof and the Pam Golding offices, 2 Swapo Road.
