Please help Tara Maniapoto & Darryl Sperling Whanau. A Fire destroyed their home, carport, vehicles and possessions.Tauranga Taupo, Turangi.

Waikato

Tara Maniapoto & Darryl Sperling whanau are in shock and shattered.

They are wonderful hard working parents caring for three sons and one daughter. They have always supported others in the community in so many ways. Its now time for them to accept support for themselves.

On 3 September 2015 the whanau buried their beautiful niece Jahlee. At 2am the following morning they were woken to a blazing fire spreading through the house, carport and eventually to their vehicles. They had seconds to escape to safety only to watch in horror everything burning to the ground while waiting for emergency services to arrive. The devastation is extreme.

For Tara, Darryl and the children the journey will slowly begin.To recover from their grief. May the blessing and healing towards their future brings love and light.The struggle will be eased by the help of others.

Your understanding and support would be much appreciated and received with gratitude.
