My dog attacked and recovering - Please Share - https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/saving-luna-1

Andrew from Henderson

Did not think to post this until now - Duh!
My dog was severely mauled in Corbans Estate a month ago now and the recovery has been good but the costs of surgery and follow-up have been eye watering. I took out a high interest personal loan that I will find great difficulty in paying off so set up a give-a-little page. Vet costs have now consumed the whole $20,000 I borrowed but hopefully this is the last phase of recovery. I know times are tight for all of us but I am asking if you would please share my link on your social media s anyone I reach who is able to help would be fantastic. I know asking for help is a crowded field but this is the first time I have ever taken this step - I simply had to save my girl (as letting her go would have broken me) and that the problem is mine but needs must. Would do anything for her. The other dog owner is useless and did pay the initial deposit required for the vet to start. He has no money and it is in the hands of Animal Control now. Please share on your social media as some lovely people out there might be in a position to help.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

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?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
