Help rebuild and make livable my home

Lower Hutt, Wellington

Five years ago my wife passed away and although it was a very sad occasion so many people through give a little and friends helped me and my family transition emotionally and also financially.

A year after she died we moved and bought a house and we’ve made it our home but little did I know that it had so many things wrong with it. There has been countless leaks and pipes breaking and there needs electrical work done and all the windows need replacing. The windows were secondhand from an old school.

This is not a sob story and although I am making enough for my family the banks won’t give loans at the moment to sole traders or self-employed not without a clear history of high profits. I keep going back to the bank and even though I’ve never defaulted on a lone or payment they simply say no.

So I’ve started giving concerts on TikTok and using my skills as both a performer and a singing teacher to raise funds and I hope that I can entertain you and your feel prompted to pledge something towards the rebuilding of my home. Thank you.

Use of funds

Plumbers, Builders, electricians and making my house structurally sound and getting rid of damp and poor construction issues.

Pipes outside the Walls   18 July 2022

This is a photograph of the pipes that have had to be installed outside of the walls because the plumbers couldn't get into the walls unless they completely removed the bathroom appliances. So this is a temporary solution.
