“Raising funds to help my three children and me rebuild after losing our home and belongings in a devastating house fire in New Plymouth.”

New Plymouth, Taranaki

Hi everyone,

Today our family home in New Plymouth burned down in a devastating fire. All of my children’s belongings and my own personal items are gone.

I’m a full-time cleaner and a solo mother to three wonderful children:

• My oldest daughter is 12 and attends intermediate school.

• My son is 11 and in primary school.

• My youngest daughter is 9, also in primary.

We’ve lost everything—beds, bedding, clothing, furniture, kitchenware, school supplies, and treasured personal items. Unfortunately we didn't have any insurance

I’m trying to raise funds to help us secure a new home and replace the essentials we need to get back on our feet. The funds will go toward:

✅ Bond and moving costs

✅ Furniture, beds, bedding

✅ Kitchen and household items

✅ Clothing and school needs for my children

Any donation, big or small, would mean so much to us. Your support will help us rebuild our lives and give my children a safe, stable place to call home again.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

🙏 Aleisha A
