REGARDING the article, ‘We were three minutes from death’ in the Argus on Wednesday, February 3. 
The local community and people further afield have responded incredibly to the plight of the family of four who lost most of their possessions in the horrific fire. 
People have donated cash, clothing and other household items to help furnish a flat the family have been kindly loaned by Tai Calon Housing Association. 
Tesco store in Abertillery donated a £100 food shop which was personally delivered to the family by the store manageress Nicola Levi and her assistant Dawn Blackwell.
It is amazing, that living in a time of austerity people have been so self-sacrificing. 
Anyone in the Abertillery area who wish to help the family can donate cash in the Commercial Hotel,  Abertillery.
