Luggage needed - can you help us?
We need to find a good-sized suitcase for one of our clients - do you have one in a wardrobe or garage that you don't need any more and would like to donate to a young person?
One of our young clients who we have been supporting for some time is about to head over to Australia to join family there. All of her available funds have gone towards her ticket and outstanding financial obligations - she's even sold her own bed - and the last thing she needs to get is a good suitcase or piece of luggage for the trip over.
We've tried our usual sources, but we haven't had any luck finding anything for her! This young lady is flying out in a couple of weeks. If you're able to help, please email jessh@lifewise.org.nz or call me on 09 818 0205.
Thanks!
