Deanna Bordin says the Griffith community has shown her there is "a light at the end of the tunnel".

"Along with my son Rodney, I would like to thank the community of Griffith for all the love, support and donations over the last few weeks after the tragedy of the house fire," Ms Bordin said.

Since the fire, Griffith residents have donated money and clothes to Ms Bordin and the Exies Eagles cricket club raised over $15,800 for her son Rodney.
