Fundraiser to support mother after fatal fire

A SPECIAL fundraiser is being planned to help a young mother who lost her two sons in a house fire rebuild her life.

The people of Togher in Cork have united to help Stacey Ellard, who lost her two boys Calvin, 4, and Cian, 2, in the fire in Wilton on the October bank holiday weekend.

Firefighters rescued Stacey, 26, Calvin and Cian from their smoke-filled house at Elm Park just after 4am on the Sunday.
