Lockdown

Jenson from Aotea

Unsure if people are aware they need to keep children and themselves away from playgrounds and children parks. Sad to see our community flouting these guidelines.

Peepo - "A couple weeks ago we adopted Benjamin Button, now called Peepo. He has been a delight and a half, to say the least, and has grown so big in such a small amount of time! Slowly, he has adjusted to his new home and is now a superb older brother to his little sister, Namnam. The staff at the SPCA were super helpful throughout the entire adoption process, even giving us tips on how to introduce our new kittens. Suffice to say they are now best buddies."

Some of us will be saving money, expecially on petrol, and on treats such as coffees, eating out, and entertainment. It's a good time to think of those who aren't so lucky, and in particular children living in poverty. If you have money to spare - however little - go to the Share My Super website sharemysuper.org.nz..., where you can donate to a variety of charities with a proven track record in helping children in poverty. It's very simple to donate, and all the money goes straight to your chosen charity. There couldn't be a better time to help.

We are lucky to have a free ambulance service and over the next few weeks it is likely to be under more pressure than normal. There are 500,000 people in the region and if 85,.000 text ONESIE to 3181 to donate $3, that would be an incredible $255,000, the cost of a new ambulance.
