'Inconsolable' family lose everything as fires destroy Greece home days before leaving UK

Rory Clifford and Stephanie Harper, a British couple preparing to move their family to Greece, lost their newly purchased home in the Peloponnese region to wildfires just days before their planned relocation. The home, which cost over €300,000 to build, housed their three children, including twin girls enrolled in a local school, and was filled with personal belongings and cherished memories. The couple, who had worked tirelessly to save for the move, now reside in a one-bedroom flat in Hastings, England, after selling nearly everything they owned. They estimate needing around €100,000 to rebuild, and Stephanie's sister has launched a GoFundMe campaign to assist them. The couple expressed deep emotional distress over the loss, emphasizing that the fire stole more than just their home, it took away their dreams and the sense of security they had built.
