A mother and her two children, ages nine and six ,are without a place to call home, after a fire destroyed their house on Sunday.

While the family lost everything in the blaze, Vashti Sonnyboy is grateful that she and her sons were not at home at the time as she feared they could have perished in the blaze.

It was around 6 p.m. that Sonnyboy, 31, and her children left their Bandoo Trace, St Margaret’s, Claxton Bay home and went to fill water at a relative’s house about a half kilometre away.
