To save the home of an amazing family who help so many but ask for so little. To make the current deal with the bank work we need $30000.

Jim and Mel Taylor are an amazing couple, they have been welcoming at risk high needs teenage boys into their lives giving them a taste of what a real family environment is all about. In every case they give so much to show love and a new life to these kids who in most cases come from a place of abuse neglect and trauma.
Their role requires them to be on the job 24 hours of every day without respite and have been doing this for 20 years. They never ask for anything in fact they are consistently helping others even though they don't always have the time or money to spare.
Recently their financial situation has changed and they stand to lose their home. As they have given up a large chunk of their lives to care for others they haven’t been able to take on full time jobs and are financially in a tough spot. The home will be sold out from under them due to consequences out of their control if they can’t find the money to purchase the property.
As a Police officer of 24 years’ experience I have seen many care givers during my time. I can’t speak highly enough of these guys who are easily the best at what they do. They go above and beyond no matter what is thrown at them. They have seen so many heart breaking stories and mended so many lives its time they received from the community they serve. I know they are reluctant to take from anyone but at this point in time they have no other option.
Please find it in your heart to donate to a more the worthy cause and help them to be able to stay in the community they love and give so much to and to continue their life changing work with the youth of New Zealand.
Jim has been a close friend for many years through work and home life.
There is a deal on the table with the banks and lawyers, all of the money raised will go towards the house and lawyers expenses.
