Help Alex, Elizabeth and Remi as they recover from a house fire and try to get to New Zealand

$2,036 of $6,000 goal
Given by 31 generous donors in around 6 months

This young family desperately need help to buy basic necessities and then get themselves to the safety and security of family in New Zealand

Canterbury

In the early hours of Monday morning (2/11) Alex, Elizabeth and little Remi’s lives were spared but the block of units they were living in were destroyed by fire. As they were sleeping at the time, they were forced to leave with just what they were wearing. They are currently having to rely on the generosity of a friend for somewhere to stay as they lost everything. As a family it is difficult being so far away (they are in Canada) knowing their needs at this time are so huge. Any donation, no matter how small would be greatly appreciated to help them - thank you .

FYI Alex and Elizabeth unfortunately did not have insurance for their items.
