Family raising funds to demolish house after devastating fire

Whanganui, Manawatu-Wanganui

On the 10th of June we suffered a house fire and lost all our worldly possessions. Since then the council has asked to have the house demolished by the end of October but we are still locked in an argument with insurance. To top all this off we have since lost a member of our household and a genuinely struggling financially paying a mortgage and rent while covering demolition costs. Not to mention some local miscreants decided it was a good idea to rifle through the remainder of our house contents and help themselves. We are seeking $15,000 to cover demolition costs and correct disposal of the house and if we are still in the green after that replace some of our more cherished possessions. Thank you for your support.

The Turnbull-Crook family.
