Narberth family left without home after fire breaks out

Chloe Davies, from Narberth, and her two children, Mila, seven, and six-month-old Romi, were left without a home on Wednesday, May 28, when a fire broke out at their property.
The fire destroyed all of their belongings, and they were left with nothing, as Chloe did not have home insurance.
She is now trying to rebuild a life for her family.

Ella said: "My sister is very strong, and I don't think it really hit her what had happened until we ended up throwing all the stuff in the skip that we had to get.
"I think what really got her was when we had to get rid of damaged scan pictures of my youngest niece, because obviously those are completely irreplaceable.
"As a family, we are very strong, and we've been through a lot, but we're just trying to get through it all and chip in to help where we can.
"I think Chloe's dealt with it better than we thought she would, especially as she has to be strong for her children and the younger members of the family, including our younger siblings."
The young family are unlikely to be able to get back into the house for a while and have been continually returning there to check on the progress of resolving the damage.
Ella said that much of the refurbishment will have to be done by the family themselves.
She explained: "We know the kitchen is getting redone, but we're going to have to do a lot of the painting, the floors, and we need help."
The fire has destroyed the home in Narberth (Image: Ella Davies) Their mother Laura also shared on the GoFundMe page set up by Ella, saying: "Hi, my name is Laura, and I'm reaching out for any help that anyone can offer for my daughter Chloe and my two grandchildren Mila 7 & Romi 6 months.
"On Wednesday 28th May, my daughter's house caught fire whilst thankfully they were out.
"The fire brigade were called out but sadly the smoke damage was so extreme that it has destroyed all their belongings.
"Unfortunately, my daughter didn't have insurance and now has to start all over again.
"Chloe is a single mum and we are reaching out for any donations.
"My two grandchildren have lost all their toys, so if anyone has any girls' toys or clothes, that would be absolutely amazing.
"Donations of any kind could be dropped to my home in Narberth, 20 Sunnybank Gardens, Narberth, SA67 7FF.
"We are also looking for any baby equipment as Romi is only 6 months old.
"I'm most grateful to anyone that could give anything they can so they can have a home once again.
"Many thanks to everyone."
The target of the GoFundMe is £1,000, and at the time of writing, it has made 50% of that target at £500.

Teenager, 17, is hailed a hero for diving into the sea to save 13-year-old boy who had been 'egged on' by friends to jump 10ft into the water off a pier

A 17-year-old has been hailed a hero after he jumped into the sea to save a 13-year-old boy from drowning in strong currents when he was peer-pressured into jumping off a pier. Brave Marlee Elliott sprinted into the sea to rescue youngster Reggie Jones - who was a stranger to him - when he heard him shouting as he struggled to stay afloat. Reggie had been 'egged on' by his friends to jump 10ft into the water from a pier - despite not having experience swimming in the sea. He jumped from the pier in Southsea, Portsmouth, Hants, into strong waves. Others watched in disbelief as Marlee ran to the shoreline and swam around 200 yards out to Reggie and held him above the water while they waited for emergency services. The lifeboat arrived shortly after and dragged the pair out of the water, before the 13-year-old was taken to hospital in Portsmouth. He had been coughing up water and the paramedics said he was just two minutes away from drowning. He was in hospital for two days due to problems with his kidneys. The older teenager spent two hours in the ambulance after the incident at around 6pm and it was found that his body temperature had dropped to 31 degrees - four degrees below the barrier for hypothermia. A GoFundMe campaign has now been set up by Reggie's stepdad, Jay Ayling, 33, to reward Marlee's selfless act with a brand new motorbike. Reggie, from Portsmouth, said: 'I was with a group of four school mates from Year Nine. We were messing about on the pier and then I jumped off in the sea not knowing that it was a riptide. 'When I was in the water I just gave up and I thought that was it and that was pretty scary. It was probably about 10 feet down and I've never done anything like that before. 'It wasn't cold when I jumped in but it got colder. I don't remember much of what happened until I was pulled out by the lifeboat. 'To be honest there was a lot of shouting but I don't think my friends were doing much to help. None of them jumped in even though I wasn't too far from the pier. 'I am extremely grateful to Marlee for what he did as I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. I can't say that I'll be jumping into the sea again any time soon.' Marlee added: 'I was at a party on the beach front with a group of around eight friends. We had been there for about two hours. 'I know he jumped off the pier and despite there being lots of people on the beach no one was looking like they were going to save him. 'I wouldn't say I'm a massively confident sea swimmer but I was the best out of our group. It really was a fight or flight moment. 'I was with him for at least five minutes before the lifeboat came and dragged us out. 'I sat in the ambulance for about two hours to warm up before going home. I feel fine now. 'I am not one for boasting but I am proud of what I did. I know that it might not be what you're supposed to do but I think I would do it again in the same situation.' Reggie's step-father Mr Ayling said: 'I think Reggie knows he was being a bit of a douche and won't be doing it again anytime soon. 'His friends were egging him on and so he did it but he just ran out of puff and it was only because of what Marlee did that he is still here. I can't thank him enough. 'I think the incident scared the life out of Reggie. He said in hospital that he didn't want to die. 'I believe that people that do heroic things deserve to be recognised so I set up the fundraiser to help him get his motorbike as he has earned it. 'I also hope it spreads a message and sets a benchmark in the community.'
