!!Please Help Emma Guyer Fight Cancer!! #OUR INSPIRATION

Aaron from Atawhai

givealittle.co.nz...

Beautiful wee Emma was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor ­at the age of 6 which­ was successfully removed and treated with­ radiation. Then the ­unthinkable happened ­again. The tumor returned in­ the spine at the age­ of 8, but was thankfully ­successfully treated.­ It saddens us all to announce this recent news that Emma'­s brain tumor has returned. Emma is soon to be 12 years of age and is such an amazing,­ beautiful, outgoing,­ positive girl. She is an inspiration to her family and everyone that has the pleasure to be a part of­ her life. The fight ­is back on for the third time, except this time the diagnosis is very uncertain and the prognosis does not look­ good. You can all imagine what this family has already been and is currently going through. Jenny, Aaron, and step dad Coopz are such­ amazing parents that­ would do anything for Emma, including her younger sister Khloe. I know that currently all the family wants to do is to live life to it's fullest and fulfil Emma's desires and dreams. As you can imagine this is not always­ possible due to financial stresses so if you're in the position to donate please do remembering that every dollar counts. I know they will ­be so ever grateful. ­Donations will be used to fulfil Emma­'s dreams and desires plus alternative treatments. We would like to thank you all for taking the time to ­read this devastating news that nobody wants ­to hear, but hopefully­ we can minimise the amount of stress this­ family is experiencing during this time.
Thank you all for your donations ­and support, it is highly appreciated, much love ­to you all.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Earth Emotions Silent Auction

Krisca Gould from Nelson Tasman Hospice

Monday 16th February - Monday 2nd March

Bid on a special collection of 20 unframed prints by local photographers from an exhibition called Earth Emotions.

Glenn Allbrecht's book, Earth Emotions, inspired Ann Wheatley, Emma Jane Hughes and Peter Kemp to create a local exhibition exploring the health of our soils, waters, forests, and people, with support from the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and the Nelson City Council.

Forty-seven photographers responded to an open call, contributing over 100 images. A selection of these was exhibited at the Refinery Art Space.

The photographers have donated 20 exhibition prints to raise funds for the hospice.
