House repairs desperately needed for our family

$3 of $50,000 goal
Given by 3 generous donors in 22 days

House repairs are just too expensive and could make us lose everything we have worked for. Our family desperately need your help.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Our family home is in need of some major repairs. The roof of our home is starting to leak and I just can’t find it in our budget to even start the work. Currently I am out 12 hours a day for work and then spend the remainder of my time with my 2 lovely children aged 18 months and 3 and a half. Currently paying mortgage payments that are lower than renting but are in a position where our family just can’t afford to repair and pay mortgage payments. Estimate for repairs are just too high and we would have no way to fund it ourselves. I feel we have struggled to find a way and this maybe our last chance before we become homeless and loss everything we have worked for the last 20 years.

Use of funds

Funds will be used to pay the repairs to the house. If there were more funds raised than we need for these repairs then we would use the funds to help the others in our community that also are experiencing the same problems.
