Please Help the Bigwood Family who have lost almost everything but the clothes on their back

The Bigwood family are very kind people who would give you the shirt off their back. Shane the Dad has coached a School Rippa team, and the family are well liked in the community.

But now they need your help.

Last Monday morning an underground sewage pipe located in the Bigwoods back yard, which was a collection point for all the sewage in their subdivision exploded... Mum Michelle arrived home after dropping her kids off at school to see her driveway wet, opened her front door and was knocked out by the smell. There was sewage everywhere. Because sewage is highly toxic bio hazardous material they lost all their photos, their clothing, and to add to their heartbreak items Michelles mother (who is now deceased) had made for their kids prior to her passing, the list goes on and as you can imagine aside from losing a family member, to lose everything else is right up there.

To make it worse, Shane and Michelle had just extended their mortgage towards fulfilling their dream of having their house renovated, new carpet, paint, furniture, the works, and on Sunday night, the night before this happened, the last picture was hung back on the wall. But the very next day this happened and now their entire life sits in two massive skips in their front yard. They cannot even go in their front door. Everything was removed by some men in special protective gear.

It is going to take months to have the house repaired, The family were insured but their contents policy only covers a certain amount and for a family of 5 when you do the maths it is simply nowhere near enough for them to rebuild their entire contents from scratch. They don't even have a christmas tree.

I have set up this page as what this family really needs to start rebuilding their life is money to rebuy things -from toiletries to bedding - you name it. And I hope this helps give them a boost to let them know that people care and they aren't alone. So please help Shane, Michelle and their kids, Amber, Blake and Isla try to get things back to normal as much as they can as quickly as possible. Any amount, no matter how big or how small is appreciated and will go straight to the family.
