Matty Burroughs

Hi Everyone!

We as a family wanted to offer our most warmest of thank yous, for all the love, support, kind words, donations and community that we have received over the past few days. I never anticipated that posting this blurb on Facebook would've gained the traction and wide spread conversation that it has done, its been amazing.

The Police have been incredible since this last incident and are working well with us to ensure we come to the right outcome.

The Give-a-Little page wasn't something I had thought about, but had so many asking to donate, so I set up. It has been more than we could have asked for and we thank you, Matty and the flatmates thank you. We will reimburse the flatmates for what was stolen from them, and from Matty, including the cash he had taken from him. We will now close off the donation page as our costs have been covered and we don't want to exploit the generosity of NZ. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️

Chris Bishop and his office have offered to assist working with us, MSD and WINZ to help find new accommodation, I will keep you posted on the progress of that.

I will report in again once we have the desired outcome and a new home for Matty.

Until then, rest assured that New Zealand is still a beautiful country, with amazing community, and that good always prevails. Make sure you look after each other out there, we all have a story to tell.

Thank you again,

Lisa
