Debbie Bryan from Marewa Pharmacy

This year Carter and his family have decided to give back, after battling with illness since birth Carter has had a goal to raise $5000 for his 5th birthday to give back to what he calls his second home 0 The Ronald McDonald House. Carter was born with a rare condition called Alagilles which affects the function of some of the body's major organs. Carter had a liver transplant in 2015 and has also undergone treatment for a wilmes tumour in 2017. Although Carter will always battle with his health this year has been one of the best years for him, He has hit so many milestones and is now getting ready for his 5th birthday, one birthday we didn't think he would make. Carter has spent more than 200 nights at The Ronald McDonald House over the last 4 years and as a way of celebrating turning 5, Carter wanted to give back to those who have helped him.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
