Due to being refused insurance after the February earthquake - my sister has no insurance!
Canterbury
At 2am, 24th February 2019 my brother n Law and sister, had their workshop and business TORCHED.
Part of what was destroyed was 24 x complete running V8 motors and trans and 6 x semi complete V8's, tools, welders, new engine parts, unreplaceable engine parts, V8 sbc manual Gasser dragcar, workshop, housebus, classic & hotrod panels and body's, front engine rail dragster, bantam body this list keeps going....
Also destroyed by fire the shelter belt surrounding the farm and a milk shed - this had been in our family for over 100 years - our 85 year old father still lives on the property - and has been ulterly devasted by the destruction that occurred! (he only recently has been recovering from a severe stroke and the stress and worry has been a concern to all of us)
After the February 2011 earthquake due to the age of the house my sister lives in on this farm - they were refused Insurance coverage - the house is so old that its foundation is riverstones - but after all this time it is still standing (My Nana lived in this house - my father and his brothers were born in this house) so the loss of the above have been a huge blow as they were just starting to get back on their feet after the February 2011 Earthquake- this is their livelihood!! Destroyed in a cowardly act of Arson - the Police are still investigating and we have hopes that arrests can be made, these cowards are lucky that the wind was blowing the wrong way - otherwise they would have killed my sister, her husband, their three children and my elderly parents!!!
Sister - and it is also my family family that is at issue
To replace the shelter belts, sheds, and hopefully some of the tools and car parts that were lost - so that they can try and resume their business to earn a income and live
