Support beloved community members hit hard
The Ngatai- Cooper whānau lost everything in terrifying flash floods that hit Punaruku, which is at the foothills of Pukeamaru Maunga. Bully, Huia, and their five tamariki (the youngest is just three-years-old) were trapped on their roof for more than five hours. Now, they've lost everything. Please help them.

Arna Majstrovic is fundraising for her parents, who lost everything in the horrific slip and flooding in Te Araroa. They are uninsured, as are many families in the region, so they need help to rebuild their land and home. They will need equipment to remove debris and mud, building materials to fix their home, and cleaning supplies to clean the house.

The beautiful family who run Skipps Fish & Chips in Oakura have been hit hard by the recent flooding. They’ve lost their home and cars, and their shop is currently closed, leaving them with significant uncertainty about their future. They only had insurance for two cars. Donate here.
