Help the Makahununiu family recover from family house fire

Ashhurst, Manawatu-Wanganui

This page has been created on behalf of Hiwinui School for the Makahununiu family, a treasured family from our school.

Last night (15 December) a fire in the Makahununiu’s family home in Ashhurst caused extensive damage and it is now uninhabitable. Thankfully Sio, Sidney and their seven beautiful children are safe and well, however they lost virtually everything - from basics such as clothing through to Christmas presents.

It will be a long road to recovery for the Makahununiu family as they go through the insurance process, all donated funds are greatly appreciated and will help immensely to support the Makahununiu family.

Recovery Time 🌿  24 January 2022

Thank you & Malo Aupito ♥️🙏. Words can never express the level of gratitude that we have for the amazing love and support we have received from each and every one of you all. Thank you so so much, we feel so loved and supported. May God truly bless you all abundantly in every area of your lives in health, happiness and may all your needs be met. We are slowly coming through the shock and processing the huge, sudden change in our circumstances. We will also be looking into creating a fund "Refinersfire" for helping fellow house fire victims through the vitally important first few hours / days, focusing on the immediate needs - food, footwear /clothing & shelter. As there were nine of us with just the clothing on our backs, we understand how important these areas are. Watch this space! 📚🙏.
