Fundraiser Launched After Wexford Family’s Home Destroyed From Gas Explosion

A Wexford family’s home was destroyed from a gas explosion recently…

The explosion took place on December 13th. A 91-year old man, John Kearns, and his son, Andrew, were treated in hospital following the explosion in Ferns, Wexford.

The man’s son, Andrew, is still being treated in hospital for severe burns.

A fundraiser has since been launched on GoFundMe.

The GoFundMe reads:

“I am fundraising for friends/work colleagues Martha and Mandy as their dad and brother lost their home and all their belongings due to a gas explosion on the 13th of December. I am hoping to make enough money to get them back on their feet.”

For those interested in donating, you can donate here. The community have already started to rally behind the family in the lead up to Christmas. At the time of writing, €1,415 has already been raised for the family.
