Southland

This is a heartbreaking situation that has happened to 2 very good friends of mine .

They are people who give generously, help when they can and are very kind , this shouldn't have happened to them .

Their kindness and generosity COST THEM THEIR HOME and ALL their belongings,they have been BETRAYED and let down in the most vile way....by a friend.

A few years ago they left their home for health and family reasons, they left for a period of 3 years.

They left their family home in the hands of someone they had TRUSTED & considered a friend . Everything was in the home, all their furniture,art,books, personal items, EVERYTHING !

You could have walked in and everything was there .

This 'friend' of theirs had been helped by this generous couple,,they took her in when she needed it . They have been repaid in the most TERRIBLE way.

The alleged 'friend' moved out without telling them and let other people move in . Strangers my friends don't know and would NEVER have left their beloved family home and all their belongings with !

These people violated the house , smashed and broke it, paid NO rent ,they STOLE everything from the home, the shed , the garage,NOTHING is left.

Even the baby clothes ,so carefully saved and preserved from her Son for their GrandChild someday,all taken , stolen,gone.

The garden,which had been their pride and joy is unrecognizable ( PLEASE see the photos , NOW and BEFORE it happened ).

It is buried under masses of rubbish and household waste. This garden had helped my friend with her illness, it was a place of peace and love.

The bathroom has literally been pulled apart, even the tiles off the walls,taken! The french doors and windows all smashed ,carpets and curtains can't be saved.,everything is filthy and destroyed.

The hot water cylinder , the old lovely brass door handles &fittings have been ripped out too.

You wouldn't recognize the once pretty,warm, home and beautiful garden anymore,it looks and is HELL now.

My friends have lost the lot , there is NO content insurance , this was supposed to have been taken out by the 'friend' to protect her and them , it NEVER happened , another betrayal.,

Thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of a family homes belongings gone and NO insurance . Try if you can , to count the cost of everything in your home , right down to the cutlery in the drawers and the secateurs in the garden shed , it is many many years of saving and work and it is ALL gone .

Try IF YOU CAN to imagine what it is like to be betrayed by a friend and losing EVERYTHING you own and your loved home DESTROYED ....that is what my friends are living through right now ,they are devastated and under immense stress and financial pressure.

They are not in their 20's or 30's anymore . Decades it took to put together a lovely family home , months it took to take it all away from them . It is heartbreaking.

They were supposed to be going home soon , they can't now .

They have a mortgage and can't live there nor put tenants in for a short time because of the state of the place . Every month that passes they have to TRY and find money to pay the mortgage, the insurance , the rates . They desperately need HELP.

They need to try and REBUILD their home, REPLACE EVERYTHING that has been mindlessly BROKEN AND SMASHED AND STOLEN. They need to try and rebuild their LIVES.

The bill just for repairs is huge and then they have to buy beds,sofa,linen,kitchen things etc etc the list is too long but ,everything a home needs, they have to buy again,this is SHOCKING ! A terrible abuse of trust , they are heartbroken and grieving . Wouldn't you be ? They DO NOT deserve this , no one does.

This lovely couple who spend their LIVES HELPING OTHERS have been devastated and are in mourning and shock. They have always been the first to help people who need it and take them in, to their lives and their home too

Now THEY need the helping hand and they TRULY deserve it . My friend is ill and this stress and pain is too much for her body to handle . PLEASE , please help them . Thank you , every dollar makes a huge difference to their lives .

PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO'S OF THE HOUSE AND GARDEN AS IT IS NOW AND HOW IT USED TO BE.
