From Ashes comes a NEW START

$345 of $30,000 goal
Given by 7 generous donors in around 4 months

The struggle of paying off a mortgage became real for solo mother of two, when their home perished in flames.

Northland

After struggling to pay off a mortgage for 3 years and encountering many life-changing hurdles and hardships along the way, I never thought it could become more difficult. But life seems to throw you enough to push you off the edge.

I had just managed to get my house into tip-top shape ready for an open home on the 9th Feb 2018. On the 7th Feb 2018, my kids home was burnt to the ground from a faulty fuse. All my worldly possessions have perished, including our essentials, clothing, bedding, and electrical items.No insurance.

Please if you can help myself and my 2 children on our feet it would be much appreciated.

Use of funds

All funding will proceed towards a little batch on family land for me and my two children.

Also for essential necessities and furnishings.
