Fire victim delighted by community generosity Murray Picot presents the big cheque to Debbie Barber House fire victim Debbie Barber was thrilled when Lions Warkworth treasurer Murray Picot handed over a check for $1910 – proceeds from a joint Lions and Mahurangi Matters appeal. Debbie said she was “gobsmacked” by the amount raised by Mahurangi Matters readers and others. “I would like to thank the community and businesses for their kind and generous donations. You are the best community that anyone can live in. Thank you again,” she said. Debbie said she still does not know the cause of the fire and was awaiting a report from her insurance company to see what would happen next.
