Wellington

Mel's and Jonas have lived in their Bedford house bus for 15 years!! It caught fire yesterday in Wellington just as they were about to head south to begin a new season of the Extravaganza Fair!! These guys run such a fabulous community event and have put their heart and soul into their bus which enables them to run the Extravaganza Fair and operate both their businesses.

Jonas and Mels are working hard salvaging what they can of their lives, determined to get down South to our first event this weekend. They have lost almost all of their personal belongings (15 years worth!) and we thought some people might be interested in 'giving a little' to help ease the strain of replacing everything. They are awesome people who have helped heaps of us over the years and they need some love right now.

We are friends of Mels and Jonas, we want to help them fix their house bus as quick as can be!!!

Use of funds

Any money will be used to restore their bus and or replace household items. Unfortunately the damage is not covered by insurance. This bus has provided us with so many awesome memories and has been their family home! Will keep you posted on rebuild.

Work in progress!! 26 September 2018
