"There were lots of people expressing concerns, but no-one seemed to be really sure what they could do to help, so I thought this would be a practical thing," she said.
"I thought I want to do sometime positive and crowdfunding is often something that people do these days as a quick, responsive way for people to get involved, but not in a way that is unhelpful."
The appeal has raised almost £500 in fewer than 24 hours.

But it is a way for us as a community to come together and show our solidarity with our neighbours, alongside other efforts we have seen, such as donations of clothing and free food for the emergency services at the scene.
"I know there is a lot of community spirit in Watton and this is just one of the ways we will rally round at a time of need."
Mrs Boothby-Barnbrook added: "Small businesses like this are really important to a town like Watton. Everyone uses the high street so we will feel a real loss while they are recovering.
"I don't expect this will be a huge amount for those businesses, but it is more a gesture that the community are behind them and supporting them."
