“We hit the ground running, there was no time to think,” Ms Dixon said.
“It was just open up, food, and support. There wasn’t any thinking, it was just doing.”
Since then, Ms Dixon says she has poured thousands of pounds of her own money into helping those affected by the Barton House evacuation, providing food, clothes, school uniforms, pillows, blankets, cots, and more.
“I still haven’t processed what happened that day,” she said.
“I can only share that feeling with the families that were here.
“We have this connection, I can’t explain it, but it’s deeper than it’s ever been.”
