Asking for help for our brother, who is lucky to be alive from a house fire and lost almost all he owned.

Nelson / Tasman

Our youngest brother has lost just about everything he owned. He was a victim of a house fire and is lucky to be alive. He had only moved into the place a day or two before.

He has lost basically everything he owns, which wasn't much to begin with, he has literally lost (or burnt off) the clothes on his back.

The fire made the news and he is now recovering in the wonderful hands of the ICU and Burns unit in hospital. He has burns to about 15% of his body and will take a long while to recover, as he has serious burns and skin grafts are being done.

Any donations will go towards clothing and basic things to live. I know this may be vague but he is a private person with some difficult conditions to live with, even before this happened.
