She writes: “As you all will know the Portia Baker family home was devastated by fire last last night, 5th November, whilst she was at work.
“Thank god everyone is out and safe. However this situation has now left Portia and her boys with absolutely nothing but the clothes on their backs. Her whole life was in her home.
“I wanted to start this page in order for people whom love and care for Portia and her children to be able to help and support her through this tough time (those who know, know she’s already been through enough in life) to replace anything that she needs.
“Portia is the most kindest , caring selfless human , a fantastic mum , friend and grafter please give what you can big or small.”
