An unusual lightning caused a fire. The fire destroyed a 79-year-old woman’s home. The shocking moment was caught on cameras. Heavy rain quickly followed. It poured through the house, making it impossible to live in. She was left homeless. The homeowner said: “I don’t know what I am going to do. I can’t pay for this.”
一道不同寻常的闪电引发了火灾。大火烧毁了一名79岁妇女的家。令人震惊的时刻被摄像机捕捉到了。大雨很快接踵而至。洪水涌入房子，使她无法居住。她无家可归。房主说：“我不知道该怎么办。我付不起钱。”
Hayley Johnson is a local neighbor. He saw the situation and said the woman was in complete shock. He decided to do something for her. He set up an online fundraiser (募集资金的活动). As word spread, local businessmen came together to support the woman in her time of need.
海莉·约翰逊是当地的邻居。他看到了情况，说这名女子完全震惊了。他决定为她做点什么。他发起了一场在线筹款活动。随着消息的传播，当地商人聚集在一起，在她需要帮助的时候支持她。
Roofer Ian Inskip was one of the first to offer his help. He gave free materials and led a team of volunteers to support. “The elderly woman told me she didn’t have much money, and that was it — I just wanted to help,” Inskip said. “I’ve always had a soft spot for old people, and if it was my mum, I’d want it all fixed.”
屋顶工Ian Inskip是最早提供帮助的人之一。他免费提供材料，并带领志愿者团队提供支持。Inskip说：“这位老妇人告诉我她没有多少钱，就是这样——我只是想帮忙。老人一直是我的软肋，如果是我妈妈，我希望一切都能解决。”
But the kindness didn’t stop there. More people joined the effort, working for free. Others donated everything needed to repair the house. And kind-hearted local families donated over £4,500 to further help.
但善意并没有就此止步。更多的人加入了这项工作，免费工作。其他人捐赠了修理房子所需的一切。善良的当地家庭捐赠了4500多英镑以进一步提供帮助。
Johnson, who organized the fundraiser, said: “It’s been incredible — I cannot believe the work that has already been done. It’s been a large crowd of people wanting to help — and being so fast to help!”
组织筹款活动的约翰逊说：“这太不可思议了——我简直不敢相信已经完成的工作。有很多人想帮忙——而且这么快就帮忙了！”
