Our Annual Street Appeal raised an amazing total of $31,900. This will go a long way towards caring for Hutt Valley patients with a life limiting or terminal illness and provide much needed support for their families. Thank you to all our amazing volunteers and to everyone who donated!

If you didn’t get a chance to donate during the Appeal, and you would still like to, you can donate online at www.teomanga.org.nz...

Re: Washing Machine

Noella from Petone

Hi, my washing machine has just decided to stop working. It’s a Haier model top loaded, shows code E1. Can anyone recommend a cheap fixer? I was told $99 just for a tech to come out and $20 for every 10 minutes!
