I need a MIRACLE

Julie from Glen Eden

Hi Neighbours,

I wrote the piece titled ‘Standing on the side of the road - Genuine Hardship’ found on the noticeboard.

LINK: www.neighbourly.co.nz...

I’m very grateful for the kind comments and for ‘Car……’ helping me out.

I explained my medical situation and that I hoped a followup proceedure would fix me. Unfortunately, I’m too complicated for a proceedure and am not expecting to live much longer, thus, I need a miracle. Since I’m not part of a church, I am hoping I can use others and the power of people’s prayers.
….….
I also need to ask for help to sort out WINZ which will help immensely with health costs. For example: The family crisis I’ve been dealing with is improving slowly as expected, but it’s costly. I ran out of gas 3 times last week attending the many appointments.
….….
On top of asking the above, I urgently need food.

I’m exhausted a lot of the time and my body crashes forcing me to sleep a lot. I am hardly able to stand on the side of the road and while I am hoping to leave shortly, a neighbour suggested I ask on our neighbourly website and give my bank account number instead.
….….
I wish I could explain things more but that’s holding me back from posting. Please, contact me if you have questions.

PS: I am more than happy to receive food (and gas) and let you know if others have helped (if that holds you back).

Bank Account: 02-1242-0091536-002

Phone number: 0275978706

PPS: The silver linings include 'Sprituality' and learning to do things myself.
I can fix a washing machine and build a fence. I have attached a picture of a fence I built myself on days out of hospital. I am now helping neighbours fix their fence, hehe

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.
