House fire leaves only memories and clothing on backs

Hi my name is Tracee and I have set this page up for my niece Brenda and her 3 children aged 11,14 and 17 who had recently moved from Kaikohe to Auckland and lost all their belongings in a house fire Thursday 12 March 2015 in Manurewa.

They as a family have been through a lot this year and were just getting on top of things and then this happened. It was a blessing they weren't home at the time as the kids were at school and my niece at her course. They weren't able to salvage anything only memories and the clothing on their backs.

At the moment my niece and kids are living with her brother and sister in-law who have been a tower of strength and support for them and even thou they have 4 children of their own have taken them in until a house becomes available. Their has also been tremendous support from whanau, friends, neighbours and the different churches around her and she/we are very thankful and grateful for their support.

This brings me back to why I wanted to start this page for my niece Brenda and the kids so they get to create a "New Life, New Beginning, New Memories"
