A Go Fund Me page has been set up to support the Tullamore man.
An Offaly man says he was only left with the clothes on his back after a fire gutted his home.
Aidan Bryant says the blaze was caused by an electrical fault on February 16th and it spread quickly.
A Go Fund Me page has been set up by his niece to raise €70,000 as he had let his insurance lapse.
It has already raised over €13,000.
The Tullamore man has been speaking with Midlands 103's Sinéad Hubble and says he is three years away from retirement so would be difficult for him to get a mortgage:
