Brutal attack on much loved community member

In the early hours of Tuesday the 24th of October, Keryn Hepi, who we all know and love was brutally attacked in her home, and place of business, 'The birds nest'. This viscious attack left her bruised and bloodied, with a head injury, swelling, and 7 broken ribs. Her home was also set alight, but thankfully, was mostly contained to the beauty salon (enhance beauty boutique) in the third bedroom. Keryn remains in hospital and it is unknown at this time, when she will be able to return to her home, or will be able to go back to work. We do not yet know the extent of the fire damage and whether it is safe for her to go back or not. Everyones focus right now remains on her recovery, and rest is crucial to this. This page has been created to help relieve the financial burden of her income loss, household bills, food, and petrol etc. For full transparency, excess funds may also be used to help towards re-establishing the beauty salon, as the damage is extensive, and this income stream would also help mum financially. Mum is of course the main concern here though and her needs will absolutely come first. If you would like to donate to help get our whanau back on their feet, we hugely appreciate your generosity. Thank you to all of our friends, family, and clients, who have reached out with messages of love, kindness and well wishes, and asking how you can help support her through this horrific ordeal.
