Brendan, Ewelina, Mia & Colin’s Demolished Home.

Donation protected
Brendan & Ewelina are heartbroken with the removal of their family home.
A home that their children Mia (10) & Colin (6) have ever known.
The modest log cabin they lived in was instructed by SDCC through the courts to be removed.
Brendan & Ewelina put up a strong costly legal fight however had no choice but to remove the structure due to a court order.
The SDCC have stated that the modest dwelling would set an undesirable precedent” as well as leading to a “demand for uneconomical provision of services in the area”.
With heavy hearts the log cabin was dismantled over the weekend of the 10th & 11th Jan 2025

Last November 2024, Brendan was told by his then legal representative to “pack a bag” and prepare to be jailed for his failure to remove the cabin as per the instructions of SDCC.
A decision then was made to take the cabin down or appeal the decision of the District Court to the High Court.
Brendan’s legal team had walked away from his case.
The pressure of the case and not having enough time to pursue a High Court appeal, find new legal representatives placed a significant strain on the mental health of all the family, left with nowhere to live and placed in debt also


8 years later have resulted with Brendan & Ewelina, with no home they can call their own and significant costs on dismantling their home and legal costs.
All Brendan ever wanted to do was provide a secure family unit over his young family’s head and create the same cherished memories of growing up where he was born & reared.
We ask you kindly to donate what you can so we can assist Brendan & Ewelina helping them back on their feet and clearing their legal costs.

Thank you.
