<div>Hi, as some of you may know our dad Pieter Bot sadly and devastatingly lost his entire home, and our family home in a fire yesterday Fri 29th March 2024.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To say we are heartbroken is an understatement, we are devastated and in complete shock!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pieter &amp; Marianne moved from Amsterdam in the late 1970’s and built the family home in which they raised 5 daughters. Pieter spent his entire life building the family home and took pride in everything he did. His home wasn’t only his home it was also his work. Many people who know dad, know the passion he had for his work as a builder and the pride he took in it. He not only lost his entire home, he also lost his work shop, tools, his life’s work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are forever grateful that dad wasn’t inside the house when it burned down and that’s all that matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Only last year our dad had a bad accident after falling off his roof and spent months recovering, but like the strong and positive dad that he is, he got on with it and slowly got better again. His smile returned and he started doing work again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pieter has always been a big part of the community and many of you might recognise his smiling face or his van whizzing around the place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope that you can help our dad in slowly starting to rebuild his life, his home, his workshop in the coming months. We would really appreciate anything you can spare. He has literally been left with only the clothes on his back, everything has been burned and destroyed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read about our dad Pieter and hopefully we can help him rebuild the devastating loss
</div>
<div><br />
