Families struggling in ‘hardest lockdown yet’, KidsCan to deliver 2500 food parcels
Teachers have written in to a children’s charity describing the struggles and hardships families are facing in what they call the “hardest lockdown yet”.
KidsCan has contacted schools in Auckland and Wellington hit by positive cases of Covid-19, and says the responses are “heartbreaking”.
“I was lying awake last night unable to sleep trying to come up with a plan to help our whānau as the lockdown extension means critical support is now needed. We have 25 families that require food support, and I am at a loss of how to help them,” one early childhood teacher said,
“Our whānau are struggling with transport, money, being a solo parent, overcrowded houses, emergency houses and supermarkets closing in their area as they were on the list of locations of interest,” another teacher said.
In response the charity is delivering 2500 food parcels to communities hit hardest in Auckland and Wellington.

Hello fellow power users
I am expecting you have noticed your power bills rising dramatically.
Do you know that the government has sanctioned the removal by the power companies of the Low User charges as it was seen to be unfair to high users? . This decision mostly affected the elderly the one person home and the conservative people.
This is in a time when NZ is having trouble generating power and is running out of gas. There is no incentive to save power.
Recently the power has gone up twice and mostly in the daily rate which means no matter how long you sit under a blanket to keep warm and try to reduce the bill, you will not change the result.
Please consider contacting your local MP or party leaders of our current government asking them to get these charges in oder. They tell us Power and Rates are causing the highest effect on our raised inflation.
As it is election year this is the best time to affect a reaction by Govt to a very serious topic.
Winter will be here soon to remind you.
