Help Lachlan and Alex finish their Roadie!
Surely we can help the lad and his girl out
Wellington
Lachlan and Alex had their van stolen, with ALL their belongings (including. Passports). And now they are stuck in Rome with nothing more than the clothes they were wearing!!!
Lachlan flew to England Nov last year, to meet up with his girl Alex to follow their dream of kitting out a van and doing the roadie of a lifetime around Europe.
They undertook the project of converting a van with a hammer, nails, wires, love, sweat and tears. They were so proud of what they achieved and rightly so. They packed all their belongings and set off on their way.
All was going well…. And then it wasn’t…
At the end of their day on Thursday they popped into an IKEA in Rome to buy a cheap pot and pan and when they came back out of the store their van was gone along with ALL their belongings. They now face big costs they didn’t have in their travel budget. Accommodation. Clothes/shoes. Laptops. Camera. And more ….
To say they are gutted is an understatement.
They may not be able to have the roadie they planned, but let’s see how much we can help them to see out their dream.

Thank you all so much for your support. So far you have helped Alex and Lachlan to have safe clean accommodation, some warm clothes to wear, a bag each and most importantly the cost of getting their replacement passports so they can head back to England to decide what now. Let’s keep going team! Every little bit makes a huge difference. Your generosity has already helped so much, and together we can keep the momentum going. Thank you for being part of their journey!
