88 | Support of company ‘massive’ Fowler Homes Queenstown partnered with Mike King’s Gumboot Friday and the I Am Hope Foundation, to build a home in Queenstown, auction it off, and give all proceeds to the worthy cause. T T from page 86 Fowler Homes Queenstown BUILDING However, Jason and Jen are not just focused on putting a roof over people’s heads. They have also proudly partnered with Gumboot Friday and the I Am Hope Foundation, after hearing founder Mike King’s pleas on the radio for more financial support. Jason and Jen crunched some numbers and came up with a plan – to build a home in Queenstown, auction it off, and give all proceeds to the worthy cause, which has an operating budget of between $550,000 to $600,000 each month. “Their requirement will probably double over the next five years and there’s still, today, no Government Funding received,” Jason said. “We said we’d find a way to help.” Mike describes their generosity as “just incredible”. “Talk about going the extra mile – or should I say, building the extra wall?” He said the support of Fowler Homes was “massive”. “It shows young people that there’s a whole community out there that cares, and that’s exactly what they need to hear. We couldn’t be more grateful.” The I Am Hope Foundation will use the money raised from the auction to continue to provide free counselling and support for young people 25 years and under throughout Aotearoa. Jason said the property, dubbed The Hope Home, will be ready for auction in October. If successful, Jason and Jen plan to add a charity auction home to their list of builds biannually, proving there is more to a Fowler Home than just bricks and mortar.
