A Givealittle page set up for the Papamoa family of five who lost everything in a house fire has so far raised $4797.
More than 100 people have donated money to help Kent Robinson, his partner Savanna Wichman and their five children whose rented Dickson Rd home went up in flames on Sunday afternoon.
Apart from a suitcase of photographs from the upstairs wardrobe and a few clothes on the washing line, the family who had no content insurance lost everything.
Mr Robinson managed to escape the property with his two year-old daughter Winter and managed to locate his oldest daughter Bella, 9, outside the house after a frantic search. Read more about the fire here.
His partner and his other three children had been attending church meeting.
