A family of five from Votualevu, Nadi, is seeking assistance after their home was destroyed in a fire on Sunday.

Shahista Azmin Bi, the daughter of the homeowner, says nothing in their house was left and they are need of groceries.

She says they also need medicine for her parents as her father has diabetes and just had kidney transplant while her mother needs medication for high-blood pressure and diabetes.

Bi says they were all asleep when the fire broke out but they managed to escape the house unharmed.
