Help Jesse and Lu after recent seperate losses of much loved parents, and loss of part of their family home through a tornado

Taranaki

Jesse Hopkins and Lucinda Brown have had to endure alot for a young couple in their early twenties. Both Jesse and Lucinda have recently lost parents, Lucinda lost her mum to cancer, and Jesse's father was tragically killed in a fall in Barrett's domain, three weeks before Jesse's 21st birthday. Now, on the 20th of August 2018 while Jesse and his step son were at home, a terrible tornado ripped through Lucinda's deceased mothers home, ripping the roof off and making the home uninhabitable for at least the next 8 weeks. This has caused alot of disruption in their lives. Jesse and Lucinda are amazing parents to little Olly, but have really found it hard since the loss of both significant people in their lives and now the tornado, to find the strength to get back on their feet.

Kerryanne Hopkins' involvement (page creator)

I'm Jesses mum, Jesse and his partner Lucinda Brown and their 6 year old son were caught in a tornado on the 20th of August and have been displaced from their home. They have been severely affected by the tornado which ripped the roof off the family home making it uninhabitable. To top it off, their car which has been their only means of getting around has just blown its radiator, so they are really having a hard time at the moment. I know people may be confused as there was another Give-a Little page set up, and people have donated to that already, but that was set up by one of the sisters living in the home, while the other sister, my son and his stepson were also living there, and have not benefitted from that page at all, and that is the reason this page has been set up. All monies raised will be paid directly to Jesse and Lucinda to help them get back on their feet.

Use of funds

Any money raised will be used to help with fixing their car, rehousing and replacing lost possessions for them and their family.
