This page is raising urgent funds to support a family after a house fire, while their father fights for recovery.
Mangatāwhiri
In the early hours of Saturday morning at about 4:00 AM, the unimaginable happened to our beloved family. A terrifying house fire engulfed the home of Janet, Lance, and their two adult children, Samantha and Robert.
While we are profoundly grateful that Samantha and Robert were not home at the time, Janet and Lance were inside as the fire took hold.
Lance is currently in the ICU in a serious but stable condition, suffering from 4th-degree burns to 40% of his body. He has a long, difficult, and painful road to recovery ahead of him in hospital.
Tragically, the fire completely destroyed their home and everything inside it. Including all three of their vehicles. In a single morning, a family of four lost all of their clothing, daily essentials, work supplies, personal electronics, and decades of cherished memories. They have been left with nothing but the clothes they wore that night.
With Lance facing extensive medical treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation, the family's world has been turned upside down. Janet and their two children are trying to navigate this medical journey while having no home to return to and no basic necessities.
We have created this page to relieve the heavy financial pressure on the family while the wait for insurance and help them with the overwhelming task of starting to rebuild, so they can focus entirely on Lance's recovery and health.
This page is organised by their loving family to support Janet, Lance and the two kids as they face this unimaginable crisis.
The funds will cover hospital travel and accommodation while the father is in ICU, immediate clothing and essentials for all four family members, temporary housing costs, and the essential household items needed to rebuild their lives.
