Support for SETH!

Nic from Feilding

Come and show support for Seth!

A Feilding two-year-old is facing the prospect of living his early childhood on dialysis after a rare form of cancer cost him a kidney.

Seth Maats was diagnosed with Wilms tumour four months ago. Neither parent had been able to work with the demands of a six-person household, including Seth’s three siblings, as well as his health needs.

So far, treatment and travel had been Government-funded, but they remained concerned as to what the cost would be if their worst-case scenario was realised. The household is under great pressure with costs associated with looking after Seth. Neither parent has been able to work with the demands of a six-person household, including Seth’s three siblings, as well as his health needs.

A market day fundraiser to raise funds for Seth's family is at Manchester Street School this Saturday, May 1, between 9am and 1pm.

A givealittle page givealittle.co.nz... has also been set up for anyone wanting to donate.

The Rapid Relief Team rrtglobal.org... will be on-site to sell hamburgers, sausage sizzle and barista coffees to help raise funds. A great team of volunteers and donated food si there to Support SETH!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
