My daughter needs surgery overseas
Hi
My daughter Mia and I have lived in Stonefields for just over 6 years and we love it here. It's such a friendly community and handy to everything.
Unfortunately my daughter isn't well - she has ehlers danlos syndrome which has caused 4 compressions in her abdomen - meaning she can't eat food, has lost over 8kgs, has stomach & back pain, headaches and vomiting and isn't in school.
Her vascular surgeon has referred us to a team of surgeons in Germany who specialise in vascular compressions (they only affect 0.3% of the population so we don't have anyone doing the surgeries here in NZ).
We have to raise $140,000, so I'd really appreciate if you'd share the link below to Mia's Give a Little Page on your social media pages.
Thanks

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
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?
-
80.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Carpet inspection needed
Hi
I've just had new carpet laid throughout my house. I'm not happy with the result, as pieces don't match where they should, and in a hallway there are 5 joins where should not have been more than two. The supplier says there's nothing wrong. I would like a professional carpet person to look at it for an independent assessment. Does anyone know of someone who could do this?
