A DEVASTATED mum has said all her family's possessions have been destroyed by a fire which engulfed their home.

Jayne Wallis appeared in Wednesday's Worcester News after rescuing her two youngest children from a blaze at her house in Windermere Drive, Warndon, Worcester.

Following an emotional visit to her home yesterday, the 41-year-old said she and her five young children had lost everything.

"You can't even salvage anything," she said. "It's black from the bottom of the house to the roof.

"If it's not melted, it's badly smoke damaged.

"My kids have nothing - no clothes, shoes, toys."

Miss Wallis said she had just managed to rebuild her life after flash floods damaged the property - owned by Worcester Community Housing - two years ago.

"The garden was 4ft high in water and in the house everything downstairs was destroyed," she said. "I had to rebuild it all myself because I had no insurance."

Although Miss Wallis now has insurance, she said she does not have the basics to keep her family going, such as toiletries, bedding, clothes or towels.

To make matters worse, she and her children - Mckenzi, aged one; Jordan, four, who suffers from autism; Conni, seven, Tammi, nine, and Reece, 10 - are having to live apart, divided between relatives and a hotel.

The family have been told they can move into a four-bedroom maisonette in Warndon while their house is repaired, but not for another two weeks.

Miss Wallis said the family's distress had been made worse by her eldest daughter, 19-year-old Kelly, being given a fixed penalty notice for driving without a seatbelt as she rushed to Tuesday's fire.

However, she said has been touched by the kindness of people, who have already rallied to help the family.

Steph Boyd, also of Windermere Drive, was compelled to help after driving past Miss Wallis' fire ravaged home.

"She was outside and just looking at the smouldering mess," she said.

"I think as a community you need to support people when they go through this kind of thing."

The 33-year-old said she was trying to rally the congregation of St Paul's Church in Worcester to help by donating items.

A police spokesman said officers could not waive fixed penalty notices, but anyone who receives one has the opportunity to put forward their mitigating circumstances at court.

Anyone with possessions to donate to Miss Wallis' family has been asked to drop them off at her mother Andrea Cline's home at 535 Tolladine Road, Warndon.
