Hello there

I know I keep re-posting this week after week but as christmas draws closer & closer I get more anxious & would really like spread some true christmas joy to a family in need.

I am new to this Give A Little thing, but needed to do something to help someone very close to me, out of her current predicament. I have set up a Give A Little page for a very dear friend of mine & her young kids who have become victims of a situation that has left them homeless & with no car. If you wish to ask any questions or know more information I will reply to any messages I receive.

Below is the link to my Give a Little page. If you wish to forward the link to anyone who might also be willing to donate, that would be very greatly appreciated. The faster I can hit my target, the sooner I can forward it onto her & her kids:

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read my post & please, even if it's only to 1 or 2 people you know who might also be willing to donate, passing my post/link on will help me tremendously in my quest.

Sincerest Regards

Yvonne

Poll: Should dogs be allowed in cafes?

Neighbourly.co.nz

Dogs lolling beneath cafe tables while their owners sip lattes or glasses of pinot would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.

Now it is just the way Kiwis roll, with a raft of dog-friendly dining options available throughout the country. What do you think? Should dogs be allowed in cafes?

Todd Niall Reporter from North Harbour News

Hi Neighbours, Auckland Transport's $1.3 million rideshare experiment is subsiding each ride by $11.72, and 48 per cent of trips are Devonport folk travelling solo to or from their ferry. Good way to spend money? Read the story below:
