Tornado strikes 'Land of the Giants'
|
On Sunday the 23rd February 2014, only three weeks and three days after we moved to the Land of the Giants, our home was severely damaged in a tornado. It was a truly terrifying experience for myself and the Giants.
But through the incredible generosity and compassion of friends and family we 'got thru' and have just moved home again, eight months later.
This page is a tribute to the wonderful people who helped us, many will go unnamed but never forgotten.
The Rural Volunteer Firefighters who came immediately after
my wonderful neighbours who took my special possessions to protection
Ann, Lisa and Jackie - who rescued the Giants
Jenn and John - for providing us all with a 'safe haven'
The builders of Jordent Housing - who have assured my roof is never going anywhere again (without taking the whole house!lol)
The amazing crew at Totalspan North Canterbury for building 'the Ritz' for my precious gang
The wonderful Marilyn at Carpet Court Kaiapoi
Kim and Matt - for making me get out of bed even when it was really really hard
Emma for show grooming Magic and Hunter for me
Lisa and Jocelyn for showing the Zauberei babes to such great wins - always put a smile on my face
My Mum and Dad - for being there just loving me.
And for those many others who gave, financially, with hugs, with kind words, with support - you are all in my heart, and therefore all part of the Land of the Giants family.
