Single mum of two babies lost everything including car during flood

$4,551 donated

Given by 19 generous donors in around 3 months

hoping to raise enough to get this family some furniture and baby things to replace what they lost, unfortunately she had no insurance

Tiniroto, Gisborne

Single mum of a 3year old boy and 2week old girl lost her entire house as well as her car when Cyclone Gabriel hit on February 13th everything was lost or broken literally nothing of value could be saved including photos/videos etc. She had just finished nesting and prepping to enjoy her new baby in her new house only to enjoy it all for two weeks before everything was gone in a flash they had only minutes before her house was filled with the raging waters and mud leaving nothing untouched. She’s in dyer need as this family had no house and contents nor car insurance, what a loss!

If you can spare it please give to this young family in need. All is welcome and all is needed! She just needs enough to get her babys beds to rest their heads and some clothing so they can start enjoying this new baby a god bless their hearts x

Kohu is overwhelmed with the support she has received from total strangers and has been bought to tears every single time she gets a donation shes in utter disbelief that there are people out there who actually do this and in future will always donate to others when possible..She has been able to purchase some bedding beds and drawers and will do s personal update when things get abut back to normal...personally me and kohus whanau would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts, every penny has gone to her babies and home, if you knew Kohu you'd know she us the proudest person you'll ever meet and was hard for her to agree to let me do this so honestly thanks you guys soooo much

From my small business Bloom Boutique Medispa in Darfield just west of Christchurch. Our beautiful community came together and hosted an event to raise money for a family in need. I have chosen your family as such a worthy cause and we hope this helps ease some of the pressure and provide some comfort in what we can only imagine is such a tough time. With our donation we are sending all our love and well wishes and hope you and your family are staying strong. I have put together a little video from some of our guests at the fundraising event, I’d love to send it to you, if you’d like to feel free to reach out. With love, Ashlley and the Bloom Boutique Medispa family from Darfield
