MIDDLEMORE FOUNDATION PYJAMA DRIVE
MIDDLEMORE FOUNDATION PYJAMA DRIVE
CAN WE DO IT? OF COURSE WE CAN! IF WE WORK TOGETHER.
We have seen many times before just how generous the people of Pukekohe are.
As we all know, the nights are getting cold and 213 Franklin children have been identified by their teachers as needing a pair of nice warm pyjamas to keep them toasty on these chilly nights.
We are very grateful for the generous donations we have received so far. These pyjamas go direct to the children in our community who have been identified as needing them now.
Here are numbers and sizes of pyjamas we are short of.
Size
4: Boys x 4
5: Boys x 19, Girls x 4
6: Boys x 16
7: Boys x 13
8: Boys x 15, Girls x 18
9: Girls x 5
10: Boys x 37, Girls x 15
11: Boys x 15, Girls x 15
12: Girls x 20
14: Girls x 3
16: Boys x 4, Girls x 5
Total pairs needed: Boys 125, Girls 88
Pyjamas can be left at Franklin County News, Pukekohe Travel, Top Notch or Pukekohe Anglican Church or text Jan on 0274521 366 and we will arrange for them to be collected. Maybe you could collect some for us at your office or place of work or amongst your friends.
Thank you for supporting our local community as we try to keep our children warm and out of hospital.
This is a Middlemore Foundation project run with our Franklin Health Locality, Pukekohe Community Action and Pukekohe Anglican Church plus our wonderful community.
MANY MANY THANKS

But for Emma Muller, it has also turned into an opportunity to celebrate her late daughter Nicola, who died 19 years ago at the age of 37.
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:

-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
