A message from Janelle, Dizz and Ziggy...
9 February 2022Our dearest friends and family,
Greetings from sliptopia! We want to say thank you from the deepest, darkest bottoms of our hearts for your amazing contribution and gift to the give-a-little page that was set up for us. When we woke up the morning after we had been forced to run from our cabin during the slip, there was nothing we could do except to get out the deck chairs and sit and stare at what had been - less than 12 hours ago - our home. We had no idea where to begin, and soon realised that we didn't have the machinery or resources to begin anything with anyway, and wouldn't for a long time to come.
Though it felt very strange and overwhelming to have a give-a-little page made for us, the contributions that have been made by our friends and family have changed the hopeless situation we were in. We are completely overwhelmed with gratitude for your generosity. The money that you have helped to raise for us means that we are now able to hire a hiab truck to try to pick up and relocate the main structure of the cabin out of harm's way (and hopefully without damaging it further - eeek), and to remove the debris that was once our bathroom and deck. It will even go some way towards helping us clear the slip with diggers, and remove some of the earth and forest that sits on the edge of our new cliff face to relieve some of that pressure and - hopefully - prevent it from slipping further.
We couldn't begin to do any of that without you. Thank you for being such amazing friends. We have a long, difficult road ahead of us but you have shone a light down this dark tunnel for us to follow. We will never be able to truly articulate how grateful to you we are. Thank you. You are our ride or die homies for lyf.
Lots of love, and more gratitude than a Hiab truck would ever be able to lift,
Dizz, Janelle, Ziggy, Karen, Jenny, baby Barb, and even Ron (the worst weka of them all). Thank you. ❤
