Help Charlotte and her 3 young boys.

$11,030 donated
Given by 199 generous donors in 14 days

Help Charlotte rebuild her life after a devastating house fire only a month after losing her husband and father of her three young boys.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Charlotte is the recently widowed mother of three young boys, who on the afternoon of March 25th, suffered a house fire, which has left most of her and her childrens' belongings, wrecked.

Her best friend and father of her three young sons passed away unexpectedly only a month ago, creating a very difficult and emotional time for the young family.

Charlotte and her children had been living in emergency accommodation at a motel for some months before finally being placed in their house only last year which was a trying time with three children under five, and the youngest child with medical needs. The single mother has furnished the house from scratch. Now, in the blink of an eye, all that hard work has been ruined.

In a cruel twist, the fire also happened to occur ont he seventh anniversary of her eldest son's death, making an already emotionally painful time that much harder.

Any donations will go towards assisting Charlotte and her boys with replacing their belongings.

Charlotte does have contents insurance which together with all these generous donations will help her and the boys find a new house to make a home.

Thank you so much.  27 March 2021

To all of our generous donors:

From the bottom of our hearts thank you so very much. There has been such an overwhelming flood of donations that has restored our faith in humanity.

As we have stated on the page Charlotte does have basic contents insurance which she will be starting the arduous process of claiming next week. As most of you may know already from the news articles, Charlotte was in a state house and living on a sole parent benefit from Winz.

She and the boys are currently in a motel and may have a new permanent home lined up in a few weeks time.

Again we are blown away by the share generosity of our community.

Thank you ❤
