Updating 'Support group for people with no living blood relatives'

Niki from Newtown

To all those absolutely wonderful people who offered voluntary help when I placed my first post...the first group is aimed at normally functioning people in the community, I don't think we will need any kind of outside help, we just need each other. However I believe that a second group will … View moreTo all those absolutely wonderful people who offered voluntary help when I placed my first post...the first group is aimed at normally functioning people in the community, I don't think we will need any kind of outside help, we just need each other. However I believe that a second group will develop and that will be aimed at people with dissabilities within the community who also have no living blood relatives. I see a place for very valued kind volunteers in creating a welcoming and safe environment for the group members. We have been incredibly lucky by being offered the use of the beautiful Haitaitai Bowling Club rooms as a base rent free...how wonderful is that! So we have somewhere lovely to go, many offers of voluntary help from kind members in the community and potentially our first member for the group for people with dissabilities who are also completly alone. Within the first group (my group) there are five members so far. I can't thank the outside supporters enough, please stay in contact. Regards, Niki.
