Emergency support for Shannon and Chris after house fire

Featherston, Wellington

On Wednesday, 13th May, my sister Shannon and her husband Chris, tragically lost their home to a house fire. By God’s grace, everyone is safe, and we are incredibly thankful for that.

While they do have insurance, it may take some time for the full extent of the damage to be assessed. At this stage, they are unable to access their home or belongings and still don’t know what, if anything, can be salvaged.

Right now, we are hoping to help provide immediate essentials for them and their two young children, aged 3 years and 11 months. Any support, big or small, would mean so much to their family during this difficult time.

If you would like to help in other ways, please feel free to contact me (Ashton) or Courteney Coffee.

Thank you so much for your kindness, prayers, and support.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
