Help Max rebuild

Napier, Hawke's Bay

My nephew Max and his dad Hector have lost everything in the flooding caused by Cyclone Gabrielle. They were rescued by boat after being stuck on the roof of his uncle Ian's house next door with his dogs. He had to reduce his insurance as he couldn't afford it after a break up of his long term relationship. He has worked so hard to get what he had. You can read of his selfless heroic act in these news articles.

Max is my nephew but more like a son to my husband and I. Max and his brother Zac lost their mum Kym, my sister as young children.
