Help Mouse House Family
Help an unfortunate family of 3 pay for excess and an alarm for a burglary that has left them too scared to leave home.
Nationwide
On Friday 25th July some horrible people broke into our home and stole our laptops, tablets, birthday presents for Joshua, 1 slr camera, a smartphone, play station 3 console with 15+ games and a play station vita also with games.
Our insurance excess is $1000 as we had a house fire 2 years ago and because of rising premiums/excess from christchurch earthquake.
We are struggling to get back on our feet financially and mentally after the hit of losing everything in a hpuse fire 3 years ago.
We may even be declined for the insurance because of the past claim with the fire and the circumstances around the burglary so we may not even be able to get any of our stuff back or replaced .
We also have an autistic boy who is 13 years old who has aspergers syndrome (high functioning form of autism) and adhd which all this technology is his life.
All our personal information is on this stuff and sucks that we have to go through another devastating event so close together.
My mother is on a benefit and I work full time. We save or finance for all our gadgets and high priced items and do not have $1000 avaliable to pay for insurance excess or replacement of stolen items/ birthday presents.
We also need an alarm that will cost $1000 so we can feel safe in our house again.

Update for 10/08/2014 10 August 2014
As of today all this money we have raised is still not enough for our excess. I thank everyone for their donations. They mean so much. Once insurance is settled I myself will need to pay the extra $470.00 on my credit card to get the insurance paid out (they will replace not pay out, so there will be no reimbursement) It has been getting me down so much lately as I find myself upset about money and how I am going to pay my credit card off now. I would have had it paid off at the start of September ready for saving up for Christmas, but now it seems I never will. I have also promised my partner j would move out from my mother's house in January (after putting it off for months on end because it will effect mum greatly with money) but now I don't know if I can even do that as our money will be tighter than ever and requires my rent payments to help ends meet. They say money doesn't make happiness, but I can dawn well say that lack of it sure makes sadness. I'm not usually a charity person, I don't accept help from others usually because I'm a proud person but I feel so down right now that anything helps. We are now also going to have to bear the cost of a $1000 alarm system in our home to feel safe again as we cannot move (mums first home, only bought 2 years ago after house fire) Stress is piling up immensely and I feel as though it is all too hard to cope with. Victim support have not even contacted us even after myself calling up wanting someone to talk to mum and 2 police officers on separate occasions asking for them to speak with us. I have lost all my faith in this government (how they are funding the wrong things) and also the people in this country. At my work we get a lot of insurance claims through of stolen things, it's disgusting how people can just do that to someone, especially not knowing them at all. It sucks knowing someone was in your house, have seen all your personal belongings, photos, documents and have access to them via the technology they stole. I feel disgusted. We need a miracle, we can't live like this.
