Angel Wings Childrens Christmas Appeal
In memorial of Chrissa Squire, the Children's Christmas Appeal, gives Children, Teens and their families a smile by visiting Christchurch Children’s, Child Hematology and Oncology wards and Ronald McDonald House on Christmas day, donating gifts to families that could otherwise not afford, or have the time to buy their child a gift. Children suffering from unwell to life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, can spend numerous time in hospital, straining families financially, mentally and physically. This appeal relieves this strain on these families during this time of year.
I am asking for a donation of a gift for a child (ages 0-16), to be placed into the box at Heathcote Valley School office. I will collect these regularly until the last day of school (19 December). If you choose to wrap these can you please write on the gift whether it is for a girl or boy and the age.
If you wish to donate monetary wise, please donate via the Chrissa Angel Wings give a little page: givealittle.co.nz.... I will use this to purchase gifts to wrap up and pass out leading up to Christmas.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
