A family of seven whose house caught fire on Boxing Day have been "humbled" by the reaction of the public.
Whanganui woman Ngawai Kumeroa's uncle, auntie and five cousins, were out at the supermarket last week when a fault in their hot water cylinder set their Marton house on fire, leaving it unliveable.
Ms Kumeroa took to Facebook to see if anyone had clothes they no longer needed and could pass along to the family.
Within a few days, people had donated "pretty much a household full of things".
"My uncle deserves everything he can get, he's always been the type to put others before himself, just always giving a helping hand," Ms Kumeroa said.
