My dad lost his home to a house fire, please help us rebuild his life.
Mākara Beach, Wellington
My dad has recently lost his home of 30+ years and all of his belongings, essentials and sentimental items in a house fire. While we are incredibly grateful that he is safe, he is now facing the reality of starting over with nothing but what he was wearing and his car.
I am asking for any support to help him with essential items, living costs, housing and just getting back on his feet. There will be no financial support provided from insurance.
Every donation is truly appreciated, if you can’t donate please share this post. Thank you for helping us support him through this incredibly tough time.
Craig is my Dad.
Essential living cost, clothing, food, housing, rebuilding his life, I.D. The funds may also go towards some unexpected costs that arise, as he has lost almost everything, and a Page Update will be posted to keep donors updated.
Thank You 21 April 2026
