Let’s Help Margus and Klaarika Start Over

Dear friends,

At the end of October last year, a tragic accident occurred in the village of Ilmandu (Klooga mnt 51), Harju County. A fire completely destroyed the home of 60-year-old Margus and 52-year-old Klaarika—a house they had spent nearly 30 years building and renovating with their own hands.

It wasn’t just a house.

It was their life’s work.

They had established a garden around the home, created a small plot of farmland, and grew their own produce. All of it was destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Tragically, their mother perished in the fire, and all of the family’s worldly possessions were lost. Only the garage remained untouched by the flames.

There was no insurance

The house was over a hundred years old, and its restoration and various additions had consumed all of their income over the years. The thought of getting insurance kept being pushed forward… until the unimaginable happened.

Temporary housing, but an uncertain future

The local municipality has provided the family with a social apartment for one year to allow them time to recover from the shock and move forward. The local community has helped with essentials—clothing, dishes, and other necessities.

The family has two daughters who support their parents in every way they can, but their strength alone is not enough.

A new beginning: A small home, great hope

Margus and Klaarika understand that rebuilding a house of the same size is not realistic. Their initial goal is to acquire a small house (a “tiny house”) of approximately 60 m², which they could continue to build upon themselves in the future.

Currently, they are working on the design of the tiny house and are reaching out to the local municipality to receive at least partial support for laying the foundation.

They are not afraid of work. They have the will and the skills. They only lack the opportunity to start again.

How can you help?

Our goal is to collect donations and building materials so that Margus and Klaarika can begin constructing their small home.

We are looking for:

• Financial donations

• Building materials

• Help and advice regarding the construction of a tiny house

• Contacts for modular home manufacturers or builders

Every contribution counts. Even a small donation helps them move step-by-step back toward having a home.

Let’s help together

Dear friends, let’s help Margus and Klaarika. Let’s help them restore not just a building, but their sense of security and home.

We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts who is able to support.
