FREE ITEMS NEEDED FOR TOURETTES CAMP FUNDRAISER GARAGE SALES

Jenny from Welcome Bay

FREE ITEMS NEEDED FOR TOURETTES CAMP FUNDRAISER GARAGE SALES & AUCTIONS

Hi, my name is Jenny and I have 2 children with Tourette's Syndrome. Our son attended the first ever Tourette's Association Camp, "Camp Twitch", 2&1/2 years ago, and it changed his life. This Year "Camp Twitch" is being held in October in Christchurch.

I am wanting to fundraise so that my children & others affected by this condition can have the opportunity to attend this amazing event.

Looking for donations of NEW/USED household/kitchen items, toys/dolls/bears, books/magazines, craft items/fabric, plants & pots, gardening and other tools, furniture, linen, pictures/paintings, DVDs/cds, clothes (babies, kids, adults) ...... anything really that could either be sold at a garage sale or auctioned off.

You are more than welcome to drop off items at our home in Welcome Bay, or we can collect donated goods on weekends.

Feel free to contact me on: 0277706999 (NEW NUMBER)

To all those who have already given so generously, I send a HUGE THANK YOU. I am so very grateful to you all.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
