Requests for Help
Good morning neighborly Community. I have had the privilege of responding to and meeting John Harding and I would like to share my experience of his situation.
John is a high functioning, fully present independent senior gentleman who has lived his life serving others. Sadly as for a lot of us as he has journeyed through life and is now navigating his senior years his body is not what it once was. This dear man has made several pleas for assistance on this community site for help the last of which was for someone perhaps a young fellow who would like to earn some Money to put his bin out.
I felt really sad that in large the responses were from people with seemingly good ideas of who he should approach and or questioning the validity of what he was saying. Perhaps it is not for us to question but rather just to simply consider here is a man with a need and lets just show up and assist with that need. Maybe it's possible to consider John isn't broken and in need of fixing he just needs someone to put his bin out. Just a thought. Since John's pleas for help he has had the additional trauma of loosing his 98 year old Father whom he had come back to Palmerston North to care for. Spare a kind word or a message of encouragement and support for John today. Thankyou.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
