Get Behind this good cause
Many would have seen in the news of the shocking and almost inconceivable death of Mr Zhengwen Alan Hu on Monday the 28th of January. He was the third car waiting at a Botany Downs intersection when a fourth car struck at highspeed and shunted forward all three cars. His seat belt and airbags could not save him. It's a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time and a lot of what ifs.
The tragedy does not end here.
Alan leaves behind his devoted wife and two young daughters aged 8 and 11. They went from a perfectly happy, health family to utter devastation in the blink of an eye. Their lives have been torn apart and it's hard to imagine how long and arduous the journey to recovery will be. On top of sorrow of losing her husband and their dad, they are now in financial hardship from the loss of his income.
Let's band together. We can't bring back Alan but we can help relieve some of the current and future financial burden for this family.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
