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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜

If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
