Farm and income devastation

Eskdale, Hawke's Bay

Our fiends property on the Napier/Taupo (Glenlands Farm) has been devastated by Cyclone Gabrielle. They have had to chopper food in to survive and the clean up of their farm is going to run into to the 10s of thousands of dollars possibly more. They are unsure of when they will get their next lot of income as their farm is a mess and can't access most of their livestock. Please give a little to help pay for the chopper and to help with the farm clean up.

They did have insurance.

Thank you to everyone who have so generously donated. Both Dean and I are overwhelmed by the love and support that we have received not only financially but physically (help with fencing, meals, house work etc) as well as mentally and spiritually. We have a long journey ahead of us but I know that with God's strength, the love and support of my friends, family and church we will get through this. So please once again thank you so much. (Picture my beautiful 10 year old daughter did for me)
