Humanitarian support for people on temporary visas - find out more!
It's been just over a week since people on temporary visas (work, student, visitor, RSE) were able to access support through our Visitor Care Manaaki Manuhiri service, and we've been so touched by the response of people who've already received help ❤️
Some shared that this support will help them get through until they are able to get on their flight booked home. People have also told us how they helped their whānau apply, others explained that this support will enable them to survive while they search for work during these difficult times.
If you, or someone you know, is on a temporary visa and is really struggling right now, you can head to www.redcross.org.nz... to find out what assistance is provided and how to apply.
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.
