Te Omanga Hospice big winner in house give away

Reporter Community News

An arrangement to give away one house surplus to requirement will help a hospice to keep its patients comfortable in their final hours.
The former owners of the two-bedroom weatherboard house in Lower Hutt, the Johnson​ family, organised to give it away for free after its section at 35 Rata St, Naenae, was earmarked for development.
A condition of the giveaway was a donation to Te Omanga Hospice and that’s exactly what happened, and them some.
Not only was an undisclosed donation made by the new owners, but the developers, Faisandier Group, and House moving company, Quality Demolition, each chipped in with $5000. The extra donations were announced on Tuesday when the house was removed from its foundations to be transplanted by truck and trailer to a new property in Maungaraki in Lower Hutt’s western hills.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
