I’m forced to live in Travelodge with kids after my home burnt down in a toaster fire – I’m begging strangers to help me

A SINGLE mother and her two children are living in a Travelodge in Bristol after they “lost everything” to a fire which sparked from a toaster and ravaged their home.

Dionne Barnes, 52, had lived in her two-bedroom flat in Croydon House, Easton, for seven years when the toaster began to produce sparks and “bang” at around 3pm on September 28 after her 16-year-old son Toure attempted to use it.
