Pongakawa, Bay Of Plenty
On Friday 14th of February we sat and watched our family home burn to the ground .. fortunately we all escaped just in time there was no warning .my parents have worked hard all their lives and everything they worked hard for is now gone. We are a family of 8 including 5 adults and 2 teenagers aged 15 and a young 9 year old boy . We are all left with Nothing but the clothes on our backs. We have 4 pets 3 cats and a dog. Our cats were fine. But unfortunately our beloved dog zuma suffered multiple first degree burns to her back but is alive THANKFULLY . any donations are much appreciated we have never asked for anything so this is very hard for my parents. Thank u to everyone in advance.also my parents had no insurance unfortunately it had just expired..
Rebuilding our lives. Clothes appliances . Everything. And vet bills .

Thank u very very much to all that have helped us through this time we really appreciate everything that we have received , we have a 20ft container on property now with a bed for mum and dad and a kitchen for us all, we are still in caravans/ cabins etc as doesn't look like we are going to have a home in the near future .. we are all grieving the loss of our home and all our belongings and will for some time to come. . We have a shower /toilet/shed that we have washing machine and use it for a changing room as shower block is all outdoors and very cold this time of year. Life has been flipped up side down but we are getting there. I just wish for mum and dad to be able to rebuild what they lost but unfortunately no insurance has left us without that option right now . Thank u to everyone again. And any more help is greatly appreciated and will go towards getting another container for mum and dad to use as a bedroom without everyone walking in and disturbing them every time we need to use kitchen :) and maybe a sheltered outdoor area we can all sit as a family .
