GARAGE SALE FUNDRAISER

Natalia from Bunnythorpe

❤️ Helping Lolo live a better life ❤️
Saturday 20th November 7am—12pm
98 Marne Street

We have a great selection of clothes and shoes (children and adults), outdoor equipment, toys (great Xmas present opportunities! ??) and a collection of label clothing that will be a steal of a deal ?!!

Please help us raising funds for the treatment needed for Lolo to live a better life. Lorenzo, aka "Lolo" is almost 2 years old. He was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 (the worst grade). To improve his quality of life, Lolo needs a very expensive treatment with a novel drug called Zolgensma which costs USD $2.125 million. With the help from friends from Argentina and from all around the world, Lolo has managed to raise half the amount needed!! And now the government and private health insurance provider will be financing the rest of the money that is needed to cover the cost of Lolo's medication!

We will keep supporting Lolo is his journey, as these news means that now Lolo needs to start preparing for a long trip and probably a long stay away from home while the treatment is being organised and given to him.

Please do keep supporting this cause, and come check our garage sale on the 20th November. We have a great selection of clothes and shoes (children and adults), outdoor equipment, toys and a collection of label clothing that will be a steal of a deal!!

With love and gratitude
Lolo's little helpers

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
