Wellingtonians have dug deep to support a refugee family who had their car stolen.
Within hours of word getting out about the Burmese family’s plight, donors replaced their car, and a crowdfunding campaign raised nearly $24,000. Husband and wife A Noung and Than Than Nyain, along with their sons Mu Gay and Win Naing Soe, settled in Wellington in 2019 after fleeing ethnic violence in Myanmar.
Through a translator, A Noung said his eldest son, Mu Gay, who owned the stolen car, was dancing for joy when he saw the generosity of more than 500 benefactors.
Ben and Geraldine Everist donated their Mazda Premacy to the family..
Insurance and a steering wheel lock were also purchased for it in case of a repeat incident.

Hi there,
THE PAVERS ARE NOW TAKEN! Thank you!
I have 20 sqm of used, brick-red concrete pavers free for pick-up in Brooklyn. The pavers are 190 x 230 mm and 45 mm high. We removed the pavers and carried them up to the top stair at the gate, but the taker will need to transport them 30 meter along a council walkways to the street (no stairs) so this might be a 2 or 3 person job! The pavers have been set in sand so there is no concrete to scrap off.
They are old but not in bad shape. I have water blasted a few rows, and the colour comes back nicely. We have cleaned any sand or dirt before we stacked them :).
Cheers!
