An online fundraiser has been launched after a family on Auckland’s North Shore lost their “treasured possessions” in a “devastating” house fire on Friday.<\/p>\n

After the blaze tore through their home in Glenfield, the family of seven adults and children aged between 1 and 17 years old were on a “long journey of rebuilding their home and lives”, according to a Givealittle page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fundraiser, set up by family member Mellisa Marsters on Sunday, said the wh\u0101nau have always put others first, and now “they are the ones who need our support”.<\/p>\n

“They have lost so much clothing, personal belongings, work tools and machinery, household items and treasured possessions,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

The page said any funds are to go towards the family’s essentials, such as replacing work items and covering accommodation costs. <\/p>\n

The page had raised more than $2000 as of 4pm this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An online fundraiser has been launched after a family on Auckland’s North Shore lost their “treasured possessions” in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[51,111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-585004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-auckland","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/585005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
