Raising money for my brother and his family who tragically lost everything in their house fire last night

West Coast

My brother, his wife and two beautiful children have tragically lost everything in a house fire last night in Greymouth. I am creating this page to raise money to help them with their recovery to rebuild their lives.

They had contents insurance previously but hadn’t updated their change of address since moving, so once the investigation of the cause of fire is all finalized we will know then if they are still covered.

If you can spare anything it would be so appreciated, or share this page for others to see that would also be appreciated. Anything at all helps.

Thank you so much!

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
