Helping a great little family find their feet again.

Puketapu, Hawke's Bay

As you all may know by now Josh and Sarah's home was damaged severely in the recent flood to the state that they will not be able to move back home. The main thing is they are all safe albeit tired and running on empty. They are living with us in Hastings where the boys are happy to be with their cousins and have some sort of normality in this horrible time. Thanks to a massive effort from local friends and family, we have managed to save as much as we could in the house but ultimately they will be starting again from scratch. Josh and Sarah are just living day to day with no brain capacity to think further ahead. During this period, they have been inundated with friends and family from afar that want to help. I thought opening a give a little page for friends and family that want to show their support will be a real help for when they start to rebuild their future. It is important to note, these guys have full insurance however this money will still be welcomed to help cover the costs in the interim. When I proposed this idea to them Josh wanted to say that whatever money they don't need will be given to other families that need it as well.
