Help Chrissy, Jack & Their Kids Rebuild After Devastating House Fire

$27,803 of $5,000 goal
Given by 224 generous donors in around 6 months

Let’s come together as a community to support Chrissy, Jack, and their three kids after losing their home in a devastating house fire.

Matarangi, Waikato

Our tight-knit Matarangi community is rallying around Chrissy and Jack, who have tragically lost their home in a house fire. Thankfully, everyone is safe, including their three beautiful children, but their home and belongings have been completely destroyed. Luckily they had insurance but we know that takes a while to process and often only covers the bare minimum.

If you know Chrissy and Jack, you’ll know they are the first to put up their hands when someone needs help. Whether it’s volunteering their time, lending a hand, or simply showing up with a smile, they’re always there for others. Now it’s our turn to be there for them.

We’re setting up this page to help them get back on their feet, to replace essential items, find temporary housing, and begin the long process of rebuilding. Every little bit helps and will go directly to supporting the family through this incredibly difficult time.

Let’s show them the strength and love of our Matarangi community. 💛

Thank you for your kindness and support.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
