Massive support for Devon beach business destroyed in devastating fire

Teignmouth: A terrible fire broke out at LJ’s Beach Shack, leaving the owners heartbroken. The flames took hold on Sunday, and it was a tough sight to see their cherished business go up in smoke.

As the fire raged, smoke filled the air, and the owners watched helplessly. It was a devastating moment for them, seeing their hard work reduced to ashes.

But here’s the silver lining: the community has really stepped up. Folks from Teignmouth and nearby areas like Dawlish and Newton Abbot are coming together to help. The owners are truly touched by the support they’ve received.

In a heartfelt message on Facebook, Louis and Amy shared their feelings. They mentioned how they haven’t slept much, but they’re holding onto hope. The kindness from everyone has been overwhelming.

They expressed their gratitude, saying they never expected help but are thankful for the donations that will help them get back on their feet. It’s heartwarming to see such generosity.

They’re still in shock over the community’s support. Once they’re back up and running, they plan to give back to the community that’s helped them so much.

They’ve set up a GoFundMe page, and by Monday morning, over £4,000 had already been raised. It’s amazing how quickly people rallied to support them.

In their earlier posts, they talked about the pain of losing their business but also the love they feel for everyone who’s stepped in to help.

They’re aiming to raise £5,000 to rebuild the shack. They’ll need everything from catering equipment to help with renovations. It’s a big task, but the community is ready to pitch in.

Michael Smith, one of the fundraisers, shared how heartbreaking it was to see the family in tears after the fire. He’s encouraging everyone to donate and help get LJ’s back on its feet.

With two fundraisers already started, it’s clear that the community is determined to help. Together, they believe they can make a difference.
