Evicted single mum finds new home

Reporter Community News

A Wainuiomata mother who was evicted and faced homelessness following major changes to tenancy laws has found a new house.
Nikki Prier and her son, Cole, were served notice to leave their home of seven years the day before no-cause evictions were outlawed.
At the time, Prier worried they wouldn’t find a home before May 21, the date when they had to move out. But the family had now found a home in a nearby neighbourhood, moving in over the weekend.
“It feels really nice,” Prier said. “There’s still a lot of unpacking to do, but we’ve just settled in beautifully.”

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
