80's yr old couple been scammed all they have

Given by 14 generous donors in 12 weeks

My parents in their 80's, victims to a scam, robbing them of the small savings they had, please help them to visit their grandchildren.

Nationwide

My folks who moved back to NZ from Aussie 4 1/2 yrs ago to be with their kids & grandchildren in their later years of life. They have since been been burgled twice, lost their car as it decided to die & now have been victims to a "Spark Scam" robbing them of all they had in the bank.

They are due to visit us here in ChCh, a 2nd attempt to a visit that was short lived back in March due to covid (they were here a week then we went into lockdown, so had to urgently get home to the Nth Island). This current trip next week was to make up for the trip earlier in the year that ended abruptly due to covid:-(

I simply ask for a small token of generosity, no matter how small to help them with their travel plans to visit family in the Sth Island & hopefully enough to get them through the xmas period. I can't thank you enough, any donation would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for reading my story:-)
