'My heart is broken' says Corrie star after update on Manchester fire that destroyed her business
After a fire took hold of a storage building in Middleton which was home to local beauty businesses, Georgia May Foote posted a video on Instagram asking for donations to help the business owners get back on their feet.
Georgia recently posted a follow up and in the caption said: “Unfortunately the building is now about to be demolished, my heart is broken.”
She said: “I want to first of all say how sorry I am to anyone who has lost even a single item in that fire. I can’t imagine how those who have things that can’t be replaced feel. I’m so sorry.”
Georgia then continued to talk about her appeal, which she started to help those who have lost their stock, she said: “I posted my last reel as an appeal to help us all get back to work as soon as possible, without us working we can’t buy stock, without stock we can’t work. It’s the hardest situation for so many of us to be in. With out whole place of work and tools gone and families to feed and bills to pay.”
Originally Georgia wanted to raise £10K but they have now surpassed this number and are currently sitting at £11,580.
She said: “There are 12 of us affected by this who work in the beauty industry and every penny will be evenly distributed to help us get back to where we were.”
Georgia then finished by asking for the donations to continue and thanked everyone for all the money that has been donated.
Additionally, she asked for anyone whose business has been affected by the fire to get in touch if they need help with fundraising.
