Help a family of three rebuild their lives after losing their home and everything they owned in a devastating house fire.

New Plymouth, Taranaki

I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of some very dear friends who have tragically lost their home and everything they owned in a devastating house fire.

Thankfully, they are safe, and we are incredibly grateful for that. But they are now facing the heartbreaking reality of having to start again from almost nothing.

This family of three — Mum (33), Dad (35) and their 7-year-old daughter — have lost their clothing, bedding, wedding rings, pets and countless everyday belongings. They have also lost everything they had worked hard for and every photo memory.

They are now faced with the enormous cost of finding somewhere to live and replacing basic necessities while trying to process what has happened.

💰 Funds raised will help with:

• Emergency accommodation and living expenses

• Clothing and shoes

• Food and toiletries

• Bedding, towels and household essentials

• Furniture and essential appliances

• School items for their daughter

• Replacing tools and other necessities

We are also accepting donations of clothing and essential items for the family.

If you can donate, every dollar will make a difference. If you can't, sharing this fundraiser, donating an item or simply spreading the word can help alot.

They never expected to have to start their lives again from scratch. Right now, they need their community around them.

From the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate everyone shown this family kindness during one of the hardest times of their lives.

❤️ Let's help them rebuild, one step at a time.
