Fire Destroy's Family Home of 55 Years
House fire: Gisborne family home destroyed. Goal to start again & Begin to Rebuild.
Gisborne
Monday evening on 26th October 2020 a tragedy house fire has left our Papa/Dad homeless and our treasured family home in ruins - Destroying almost everything and all his possessions. .
Sadly it was also his 79th birthday and he had to watch his once called home go up in flames.
Our Papa/Dad who was sleeping in his room at the time, was able to get out just in time and we would like to thank those family and neighbours that helped pull him to safety. He is doing okay but understandably will now be feeling the effects of this for a long time. The cause of the fire is currently unknown and under investigation.
It’s been discovered that the home had no insurance.
This page has been set up to show support for the Peneha Whanau with any funds being donated to help them start a rebuild. Donations of food and items are much appreciated but the family has no where to store these at the moment.
Here's a link to our Nz Herald article below:
