Thank you!! ♥️
30 June 2025Kia ora,
Apologies for my delayed response to the amazing and heartwarming efforts and donations from everyone given to Jasper, Juniper and I during this very challenging experience. I was in hospital for 7 days receiving treatment and recovering from the injuries caused by the fire.
Early on in the process I was informed that due to the damage caused by the fire, the house had to be demolished, and all our belongings were destroyed with it. Thankfully though as previously mentioned, all 5 humans escaped with our lives, which is most important. Our dog Haze also made it out alive. Unfortunately, our little cat Schmidgy who we had in our lives for 11 years died in the fire and we will miss her dearly.
The positive response from everyone really helped the healing process for me and also helped Jasper and Juni find something good in all this bad. The numerous calls, text messages and all other messages received kept me/us extremely busy and the distraction kept the negative thoughts away. I must thank the visitors I had who came in to see me and break up the days a little while in hospital.
There have been varied offers of support which the family are absolutely humbled by and are extremely grateful for and thank everyone who has contributed to our recovery.
Your contributions will help us regrow and so far we have managed to start with the essentials of clothing and the items for daily life.
Thank you everyone – Aroha nui
Love Jasper Juni and Luke Chapman
