Hoping to provide some relief after a devastating house fire

Taranaki

I was a bit hesitant to make this page considering times are tough for everyone right now but I know every little bit helps and right now my sister Olivia and dad Bruce could do with some help.

Unfortunately yesterday just after lunch there was a fire at their flat and they have lost all of their belongings. (No fault of their own) If it wasn’t damaged by the fire it was damaged by all the smoke. They have just spent the past few years building up their stuff together and had finally just come to a place of having what they needed. They are now having to start from scratch again. As most people know our Livi has battled through brain cancer and has not been able to work since then so taking another blow like this is devastating and it will take a long time to build everything up again. Her new mobility scooter and wheelchair has also gone. Although materialistic things can be replaced it’s their memories that can not be. Photo albums, newspaper clippings, sentimental things they have had all through life. Hopefully this can bring them some relief as they unfortunately are uninsured.

I want to thank everyone in advance and I’m also going to take this opportunity to ask if anyone knows of any rentals in New Plymouth that are available please please reach out to us and let us know. Thank you from our family x
