Help us reach our $1,000,000 goal for those affected by Cyclone Gabrielle.
If every Stuff reader donates $1 we’ll smash our $1,000,000 target. Come on, NZ.
Cyclone Gabrielle has had a devastating impact on hundreds of thousands of Kiwis.
Thousands of people have had to flee their homes; many will likely never return to them after flooding and slips ravaged communities. A number of people are feared dead, hundreds are uncontactable, and thousands have been without power and essential supplies.
The response was called “the largest emergency housing project that the country will have ever had to undertake”, by Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods.
Those affected need your support. Stuff is calling for readers to support the Red Cross and Mayoral Relief Funds in areas where a state of emergency has been declared.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our audience, we raised over $100,000 in less than two hours, and have now cracked $200,000. Given the scale of this disaster the goal is $1,000,000.
We donated $10,000 to get the ball rolling. You can contribute here – no donation is too small.
The Red Cross is on the ground dealing with immediate welfare needs and supporting people’s emotional, practical and social needs. Mayoral Relief Funds help local communities support whānau, community organisations and marae after an emergency.
Stuff will distribute funds evenly between the Red Cross and Mayoral Relief Funds in areas where a local state of emergency has been declared including Northland, Auckland, Tairāwhiti, Bay of Plenty, Waikato, and Hawke’s Bay.
