Donate and help a Ridgway whānau!
Helping a much loved whānau in our school community after they lost everything in a house fire.
Brooklyn, Wellington
A much loved family at our school lost everything earlier this week in a house fire. We first met Hasan and Flora (Maria) when they ran Damascus at the VBC down the road from school and they now have a restaurant in the city. Unfortunately an electrical fire burned through their house and they lost all their possessions. Hasan is from Syria and Flora is from Argentina and they don't have family in New Zealand to support them. We would love to help them get back on their feet and be able to replace what they have lost.
