Thank you to the People of Christchurch from Registered Charity NZ Gifts of Love and Strength
From our Facebook page on: NZ Gifts of Love and Strength
Where do we start to say thank you....❣💐🤗
The kindness and generosity we have seen from the people of Christchurch in these past few days has simply blown us away.
Well done Angela Grocott for initiating this and allowing us to collaborate and bring on more collection points to grow it in size and guide you.
We thought we might have needed a small portion of a truck going to Westport but you amazing people FILLED the entire truck.
We sorted everything into sizes, summer, winter, new, second hand and labelled it all to make it a lot easier for them when it arrived in Westport. A massive job but we wanted to relieve some of the stress off them of just receiving boxes of unknown items.
Thank you to our amazing helpers that we roped in, Rose who popped in to see what donated goods we needed and was roped in to help sort out donated goods at Vicki's house all day, to all the amazing family helpers at Angela's house, Rachael's House, Michelle and Lynettes house thank you.
Kevin, Aaron from TIL Freight thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Aaron to back into what most of us would consider an impossible driveway , your determination paid off, and made less walking for us at one address. Kevin for helping load items the extra manpower was appreciated.
We have spoken to Samara in charge of Civil Defence donations in Westport tonight she is blown away by what is arriving and thanks you all so much for your love, kindness and generosity.
One plea from Westport Civil Defence Donation Centre please do not head over by yourselves with trailer loads of furniture etc they have NOWHERE to store it. Please bear with them for a week or so whilst they sort themselves out. She said remember they are only a small town of 5,000 and hence not having not much space.
There is also no accommodation if you want to go and help as those who have no homes are staying in the only hotels and motels so unless you know people or have a campervan etc there is nowhere in Westport for you to stay.
Donations to the mayoral relief fund would be greatly appreciated.
Please follow our facebook page to see the other work we do with care packages for victims of trauma and all new red cross refugee families.
