Device for year 13 student needed desperately

Lisa from Otara

Hello all, this is a big ask but does anyone have a spare device. My daughter's school has just informed me that they will now do online classes at home as they have a shortage of teachers. And our household has been in isolation for 11 days already and that's been hard enough. I'm not able to spend money on a device to begin with as I'm unable to work due to health issues. So any help is appreciated and any ideas to find one would be such a big burden off my shoulders. Thank you to all in advance. Have a blessed day.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
