Fund distribution - thank you
30 June 2023Kia ora,
The biggest thank you to everybody who donated.
This fund has really helped our whānau impact by this disaster. The Wharenui was untouched sitting on higher land, however the kohanga was lower and almost all whare were flood damaged. The silt and waste clean up has almost been complete and builders are starting to rebuild the whare that can be saved.
The give a little fund has been distributed to impacted whānau as a donation of $100 per whare alongside our hapū Trust that received funding for $1000 per whare. The Marae BOT decided that this was the fairest and efficient way to provide support given almost all whare were impacted. The distribution started 2 weeks ago and the Hapū Trust is administering the distribution of $1100 per whare into accounts.
This will help our whānau into recovery alongside the many other funds in the region.
Ngā mihi nui, a very huge thank you to all the support for the Waiohiki community and whānau.
Josephine
