Newly renovated home destroyed by fire. Unable to afford to rebuild
Raising funds to help my sister. She spent 8 months renovating her home herself before fire caused by the tumble dryer burnt it down.
Canterbury
My sister Ruby Debs finally bought herself a old weatherboard home last October in Christchurch New Zealand. She then tirelessly renovated it herself as she had no money for tradies plus she is pretty handy 😂
It was 98% finished when on the 1st June this year the tumble dryer caught fire (the model had been recalled in other countries due to this hazard) and ripped through the house leaving all her hard work gone.
She now can’t afford to rebuild due to costs to demolish and also remove asbestos that was found. This alone is $180k 😱 the insurance payout simply isn’t enough to cover the costs of all of this.
Please if you can donate even $5 to help her one day rebuild her home it will help
Thank you.

To demolish the remaining house requires $180k alone
Then rebuild a new one
The sum insured will not cover these additional costs
Goal is to raise $100k
