Waaah my partner's work tools were stolen from our car (as well as the car) this Easter. Please help us in buying Ivan some new tools!

Auckland

Hi everyone,

My car and my partner's building tools were stolen this Easter weekend. We've just found out our contents insurance and my partner's employer's insurance will not cover the cost of replacing his tools (they're worth thousands!!) :( :(. This means he will not be able to work which will place us in serious hardship! Ivan is the most kind and placid person and this has really devastated him considering he's only just started his new building apprenticeship. Please lend a hand, big or small, in helping us replace Ivan's tools so he can head back to work. Thank you warmly :)

More thanks!  14 April 2015

Hi everyone,

Ivan and I just want to say again a BIG THANK YOU for the kind words and donations that have been coming through the last couple of days. You really don't know how much this helps us in replacing these tools.

Just a quick update, i'm able to pick up my car on Thursday from the insurers so hopefully Ivan and I will be able to have a look at some new tools to purchase. Unfortunately we've had news that Ivan may be out of work for another month because the two jobs his company were working on have been deferred so now we will be looking for casual building work until the drought is over. We're keeping positive about the whole thing and just thanking our lucky stars for awesome support form family, friends and strangers alike :)
