Blindsided - Macular Degeneration and Vision Loss Support Group

Chrissie from Somerfield

Hi all,

We are a small group of people around NZ that have been diagnosed with various eye conditions that have caused / are causing varying degrees of vision loss.

In these trying times we are aware that a number of people with low vision are on their own and without great social support, will be looking at taking greater social distancing measures, if not self isolation.

We would like to support those people through either Facebook (see below) or digitally via regular emails, texts or phone calls.

As a FB group - www.facebook.com... our purpose is to provide a forum for sharing experiences hints and tips and providing support.

If you have, or know if anyone in NZ who has vision loss that may be looking for support please join us either via the group or reach out to us via email - blindsided.nz@gmail.com

Thank you 👁

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
