I am partnering with a colleague in Chch that sends Bras to Samoa. Very few woman can afford bras there. For the woman that receive 2 bras each, their self esteem rockets. There are life changing stories of them being able to attend work interviews with confidence. Teenage and young women begin to feel heaps better about themselves.
I know that the cost of these ourselves means we hate throwing them out.
One moving story was when a catholic nun received her 2 bras, she was moved to tears. Her colleague another nun had turn about wearing the one bra. For these two women it meant that for the very first time they could attend their church together as without a bra they both felt they couldn't attend. Something we take so for granted when we reach for another under garment can be life changing.

Donate your good condition but no longer wanted bras. I will be taking the next lot in late May although will send to Chch if I have heaps.
Any sorts welcome; maternity, large and small size, mastectomy. Even if a wire is missing we will remove the other wire.
If you want to collect from your family or work colleagues then that is even better.
Drop them in to me. Feel free to leave if no one home in letter box or on doorstep.
20 Yorkshire Rd.
These are then packed around electronics or other delicate/fragile item in a larger container. Supporting all the way...
Thanks heaps.

(OR IF YOU THINK this is a 'cheap fix', cheaper than buying a 'new second hand' lawn mower, PLEASE let me know)

1 - Blades need to be replaced;
2 - Lever is broken (I have been manually plugging and unplugging the spark-plug, Needs to be careful or you'll get a nice electric shock here, I never had a problem wearing a garden thick glove :);
3 - The catcher has a hole;

Good side of it.. it comes with petrol.. unless the hose is licking and I didn't noticed (I had filled it up two weeks ago).

I will upload photo if anyone has interest.
Otherwise it will rotten til it disappears.
