Memories and belongings burnt to the ground

    Kevin and Susie would like to follow up with all the generous donations to the give a little page set up by their children Jessic, Courtney and Matthew.

    They have now settled into what was a craft building Susie had and is now a functioning tiny home. They move forward each day with a positive attitude as life now returns to a new normal.

    Susie said the donations have helped them purchase items that had not already been kindly donated by local agencies and charities for example, a laptop so Kevin could continue his business, a generator so they can have power to the tiny home, a portable toilet until a new ablution block could be assembled, replacement keys for their vehicles as they were in the house. A new transformer as the restoring permanent power to the site becomes a reality has been another cost that was able to be covered by the donations. There are so many more little day to day items and replacing working clothes for Susie and safety items for Kevin’s work.

    None of this was possible without your generosity and has eased the financial burden they have endured while waiting for the slow insurance process to take its course, which is still in an assessment phase.

    Thank you and blessings to you all

    With love Kevin and Susie

    Kia Ora,

    On behalf of my siblings and my parents, we would like to thank everyone for their donations and kind words. We would also like to thank everyone for their donations of household items too!

    My parents are still awaiting on the insurance company regarding any payout etc which can take some time so this is a great bridge for them as they wait. There are still tears most days, but they are being as positive as they can be.

    Thank you everyone once again.

    Ngā Mihi koutou,

    From all of us xxx
