During the madness of Storm Eowyn, their home was flipped and destroyed by the strong winds, leaving the heartbroken couple to salvage their belongings.
Rickie and Lauren were lucky to escape the chaos as they stayed with their friend during the storm event.
The mobile home was only purchased three months ago, before the devastating event occurred.
A GoFundMe page has been created to help the pair rebuild.
The couple is still paying back loans for their mobile home, which they no longer have, and they are struggling to afford a replacement.
Launching the fundraiser page, the couple told their story about their mobile home and how they only want to save money to find their forever home.
They said: “We are still paying back loans for a home we no longer have after Storm Eowyn hit on the 24th of January 2025.
“We can’t afford another one and we just want someplace to call our own so we can have the chance to save for our forever home.
“Unfortunately the storm flipped the mobile over and we’re currently trying to recover whatever belongings we can.
“We’re very grateful that we were staying with a friend on the night storm hit as things could have been a lot worse but we had the mobile home only three months and now it’s destroyed.
“It would mean so much to us if you could help in any way possible and hopefully we reach our goal.
“If any money is raised above the goal amount it will be donated to a charity.
“Thanks so much to everyone helping us.”
GENEROUS DONATIONS
The GoFundMe fundraiser was launched yesterday to raise €10,000 to help the couple get their bearings together and find a new home.
They also pleaded that if the fundraiser exceeds the target, it will go towards a charity.
People have been sharing whatever they can to help the heartbroken couple during difficult times and get them back on their feet.
After 14 hours of the campaign being live, it has raised over €2,600.
A generous person has donated €500, while a handful donated €100 to help them find a new home.
You can donate online to Rickie and Lauren’s GoFundMe campaign.
Separately, a farm based in Galway, was completely destroyed as Storm Eowyn rampaged with 183kph winds.
Raman Singh’s Oranmore Organic Farm, located in Treanlaur, told how his dreams were ripped away as the storm hit.

Masked Singer fans backtrack on Bush’s identity as they predict huge twist after hitting out at judges
MASKED Singer fans have backtracked on who they think is behind Bush and predicted a huge twist.
Viewers of The Masked Singer last night insisted EastEnders’ legend Natalie Cassidy has been performing as Bush.

But now they’ve made a U-turn and think it’s actually comedian Morgana Robinson playing Natalie.
Morgana, 42, is known for her spot-one impression of Natalie, 41, and fans have taken to social media to predict the twist.
One wrote: “Bush does sound like Natalie Cassidy but would love it to be Morgana Robinson doing her Natalie Cassidy impression.”
Another said: “I was thinking Natalie Cassidy but then I remember Morgana doing a brilliant Natalie impression on her show…”
Someone else commented: “Bush is probably Morgana Robinson doing a Sonia impression.”
And a fourth added: “Bush could not have sounded more like Natalie Cassidy this time. Still a chance it’s Morgana Robinson who can do a great impression.”
Natalie recently opened up about her reaction to Morgana’s hilarious impression of her.
During an episode of her Off The Telly podcast, co-host Joanna Page asked: “What was that like? You know when she did that. Was it just mental?
“To be that well known that someone does an impression of your character and you, it’s just insane.”
Natalie replied: “It is a complete honour.
“Because I do think once that happens to you, you think ‘I am famous actually’.
“Which I don’t really care about, but you go ‘That makes you a bit famous, that’.”
Last night fans blasted Masked Singer panellists Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Mo Gilligan for “pretending” not to know Bush is “obviously” Natalie.
Someone wrote: “Everyone in the UK knows that Bush is Natalie Cassidy, except these judges apparently.”
And another said: “How do they not hear that it’s Natalie Cassidy?! Especially now with the Dean clue ..Dean Gaffney, come on people! #MaskedSingerUK.”

Dan Sheehan hails Leinster medical staff as he prepares to join Ireland in Six Nations camp after stunning URC return
LEINSTER hooker Dan Sheehan returned to action for the first time in six months last night.
The Leinster number two picked up a severe anterior cruciate ligament injury in last year’s first test of the drawn series against world champions South Africa.

And it’s been a long and testing journey back for the 26-year-old, the player paid tribute to his physio after guiding him back from the injury.
Sheehan skippered Leinster last night in the absence of Caelan Doris, and went on to star in the win over the Stormers at Aviva Stadium.
He bagged a brace of tries in the 36-12 URC win over the South African.
And the number two hailed the Leinster medical staff, his physio and boxing coach for their help with his rehab.
Speaking with Premier Sports after the win for Leo Cullen’s side as they extended their unbeaten campaign, Sheehan said: “Ohh, it’s excellent. You know, It feels like another debut of sorts.
“I was nervous during the week, it’s so nice to be part of this team. When it’s taken away from you for six months, it makes it all the more special to be out on the pitch.
“It’s a really exciting time. I’ve been helped so much – everyone in Leinster – Emma Galvin, my physio has been outstanding.
“My boxing coach, Cathal O’Grady in white collar boxing. A lot of people have put a lot of time into me – that’s what happens, it’s great to be back on the pitch.”
Sheehan is now looking forward to linking up with his Irish team-mates on Sunday in Portugal.
The squad are on a warm weather training camp at ‘The Campus’ facility in Quinta do Lago, Portugal ahead of the Six Nations Championship.
Ireland open their campaign next Saturday against fierce rivals England in Dublin.
And the former Clongowes Wood College player is relishing a return to the international fold.
He added: “I can’t wait to get back into [Ireland] camp. It was kind of weird watching from the outside over the last couple of games, these games and the Irish games.
“So, I’m looking forward to getting over to Portugal tomorrow with a couple of the lads and getting stuck into a bit of preparation.”
He’ll be joined by winger James Lowe, who also returned after not playing since November.
The duo’s return is great news for Ireland interim boss Simon Easterby.
The Campus is a state-of-the-art performance centre used by some of the wordl’s top teams and athletes.
It has also high performance gym, tennis and padel courts, swimming pool, cycling, group classes and personal training, recovery suites and sports rehabilitation.
Ireland vs England kick-off at 4:45pm next Saturday.
Fans spot Yoane Wissa’s perfect ‘distraction technique’ seconds before Mbeumo penalty in 2-1 win over Crystal Palace
EAGLE-EYED fans spotted Yoane Wissa’s “distraction technique” as Bryan Mbeumo converted a penalty after VAR drama.
It took 66 minutes for the deadlock to be broken by Brentford in their London derby against Crystal Palace.
![Bryan Mbeumo misses a penalty kick during a soccer match.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/brentfords-bryan-mbeumo-misses-first-966860644.jpg?strip=all&w=960)

The Bees were awarded a penalty and Mbeumo stepped up – only to see his initial spot-kick hit the post and then be cleared by Marc Guehi.
But the Palace skipper was judged to have encroached into the box before the effort was taken following a VAR check.
Mbeumo was allowed to retake his penalty and he stepped up again, sending Dean Henderson the wrong way.
His team-mate Wissa did not lose any belief in him despite his initial miss, having the confidence to start celebrating before he took his shot.
Fans noticed the striker running off to the Brentford fans in the away end with his arms up while Mbeumo coolly jogged up to the spot.
Wissa avoided looking silly with his “distraction technique” as Mbeumo found a way beyond Dean Henderson at the second time of asking.
Kevin Schade then headed home Brentford’s second before debutant Romain Esse got a consolation for Palace.
‘No way he did that’ – Man Utd fans in tears after seeing what Antony did in Real Betis unveiling video
MANCHESTER UNITED fans reckon Antony trolled them with a mischievous trick in his Real Betis announcement video.
The Brazil winger, 24, was given the superstar treatment as Betis unveiled their loan signing from Old Trafford.
![Soccer player juggling ball in stadium.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/NINTCHDBPICT000966854847.jpg?strip=all&w=888)
Antony took the opportunity to produce his trademark spin skill – a 360-degree turn with the ball stuck to the inside of his left boot.
It’s a move that divided supporters and perhaps summed up the plight of the £86million misfit plight during 30 months at United.
That’s because it’s a routine that might be revered on the training pitch but ridiculed in the stands – as it could have little end product in matches.
So not surprisingly, Red Devils fans groaned when they saw the former Ajax hero perform the swivel in the green and white stripes of Betis.
The difference this time was the display was for the cameras not for points.
One viewer who shared the clip on social media wrote: “
No way has Antony done his spin skill in the Real Betis announcement video!”
Another labelled him a “joker”.

And a third believes the 16-cap ace not only knew the reaction he’d get, but was right to do it.
That fan posted: “Brilliant. Will piss off all the right people.”
However, other supporters focused on the bigger picture of the poor value Antony represented at Old Trafford.
This view typified such comments: “One of the biggest Flop EVER. €100m and he’s done nothing. Waste of money, what of time, waste of space, waste of energy, waste of fidget spinning. Never seen anything like this.”
He added: “Our transfer ID is awful. Could’ve signed so many world class players for that money. Woeful.”
Meanwhile, Antony just seems relieved to start again, having sealed his six-month switch to mid-table LaLiga side Betis.
He told reporters: “I’m so happy, I’m ready”.
Now he just needs to put Spanish defences in a spin, rather than tumble as he did in the Prem.
