    The insurance assessor came to the house today.

    The repairs are going to take a long time. There’s the investigation, then the damage report, then builder quotes, and only then does any actual work start. We’re being told months rather than weeks, and realistically it could be a lot longer than that.

    So we’re not waiting any more. We’re looking for a rental in Queenstown now, two or three bedrooms, for however long this takes. If anyone knows of anything, or knows someone who might, please message us. That would help us more than anything right now.

    We’re both working, we have references, and we’d look after the place.

    Thank you to everyone who has given and shared. It’s what’s making this next step possible.

    Emily and Sean

  • Heartfelt thanks & updating our goal to $20,000 for Emily's family

      27 August 2026

    A massive thank you to everyone who has shown such incredible kindness and generosity. Thanks to your warm support, we have already raised over $8,000 towards our original goal. Emily and her family are deeply moved and truly grateful for the love and solidarity from the community during this heartbreaking time.

    As they take their first steps toward recovering from the house fire, the reality of replacing essential everyday items, securing temporary accommodation, and rebuilding their lives means the financial burden remains very high.

    To provide Emily and her family with more meaningful, stable support throughout this recovery process, we have decided to increase our target.

    Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for standing by Emily’s family. Please continue to share and keep them in your thoughts.

    We set this page up yesterday not knowing what to expect. Eleven hours later there are over 130 of you.

    We’ve read every single message. Thank you doesn’t quite cover it.

    We’re meeting the insurance assessor tomorrow and will update you after that.

    Emily and Sean
