We are seeking funds to help Maree who is now homeless after her motorhome was destroyed in a fire.

On November 6th 2024 , 2 days after her beloved cat died in an accident and still reeling from that, Maree was relocating her motorhome (affectionately called Inyan) when the bus spontaneously caught fire. Maree was barely able to pull over and escape before the whole vehicle was engulfed in flames. Unfortunately the vehicle was not insured as it was driven only rarely to relocate it.

Maree had been living in her house bus for a about 5 years and had invested countless hours and much of her earnings in doing it up and sorting out variously problems. It was her home, and contained all her worldly possession and had been bought with her life’s savings.

Maree now in her early 60’s does not feel comfortable living in a shared flat and really needs the peace and autonomy of living in her own space, in a natural surrounding. A one bedroom flat near Auckland is hard to find and simply unaffordable.
