House fire fails to dampen whānau spirits

Kaeo, Northland

On the afternoon of Saturday 9th March 2024, my sister received a devastating phonecall that her house was on fire. The phonecall was from her nephew Diani, my son.

Thankfully, with the quick thinking of my 2 sons, my nephew and our brother who were next door, they managed to get inside the locked house and dampen the flames, after calling Emergency Services.

Nobody was in the house, thank goodness for that!

But the smoke and fire damage is extensive and will require huge renovations and repair.

She is insured, however this will likely be a lengthy process and there are immediate needs that need to be met such as replacing clothing, nappies, food etc 😔

We the whānau have wrapped our arms around our sister and the 5 kids and will be there to support in any way we can.

We are asking for any donations which will go directly towards replacing clothing, whiteware, household goods etc however we do realize times are tough for everyone at the moment! So even just giving this page a re-share would be great fully appreciated!

2% Effective Fee
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.
