Raising funds for the Brader family who were victims of alleged fraud and who are seeking to renovate their home for their son's health.

Naenae, Lower Hutt

We want to help our friends the Brader family who recently lost $18,760 to a Wellington building supplies company after it went into liquidation and which is now the subject of a large scale criminal investigation. Owing their creditors over three million dollars, and with no known assets to pay them back, the company owners were arrested and charged after their victims noticed they were preparing to flee the country: https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350219853/least-3m-owed-building-supplies-company-goes-liquidation

Over the last five years Chantelle and Carmelo worked hard to save enough to begin renovations on their Lower Hutt property, with Carmelo training as an apprentice builder for most of that time and Chantelle staying at home with their three children (Ara 6, Zayd 4, and Safira 1). The renovations were primarily focused on weather proofing their home for their asthmatic four year old son. That dream has now been shattered. The family is devastated at the loss of their savings and the ongoing impact on the health of their children.

Please help us replace the lost savings so renovations can get underway in time for winter. Any donation would be appreciated for these good people who are undeserving victims of alleged fraud.

The money raised will go directly to purchasing double glazed windows and related renovation supplies needed for weather proofing the Brader family home.
