Fresh garden vegetables needed for 24 y.o. post-op cancer patient
Dear Neighbours, I am looking for fresh (preferably organic) vegetables for a 24 y.o. Sikh immigrant lad in Papatoetoe who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour. He is now post-op and needs excellent nutrition of the kind that only uber-fresh vegetables can provide. If you have any surplus in your gardens right now (carrots, spinach, silver beet, broccoli/cabbage/cauliflower, lettuce etc) you'd be doing this kid a massive favour. If you know of any keen vegetable gardeners please spread the news. I can collect from you and deliver to him. Please call or txt to my mobile 021 277 45 77 if you can help. Many thanks in advance, Jim.
