The community has rallied around Lance "Stretch" Voice after the devastating loss of his beloved animals and his home.
Stretch is well known in Waihi as the tall, interesting, generous cyclist who travels the streets on his retro bike, sometimes seen with stray animals in his jacket.
Stretch lived in
a house bus which went up in flames late last month.
The bus is a write-off, and can not be repaired.
Long-time friend Tracey Moreland started a Givealittle page — Let's see how far Waihi's kindness can "Stretch" — and Stretch has already begun shopping around for a secondhand bus he can call home.
