A little bit about me...

Donna from Otaki District

Hi there, my name is Donna Bridgeman and I live in Otaki. I have two very focussed things to keep me occupied daily. First and foremost genealogy is the most favoured thing I do every day and possibly half the night. I have been researching for myself and others who need a hand for over 40 years.
The next Hot Topic is Homelessness. I have advocated all aspects of being homeless for about three years but before that, I did work with Housing issues. The latest that this new coalition government has decided on with rentals scares me to bits. No longer does anyone feel safe and secure in their rental. With having six moves in three years and now being 69 years young, it terrifies me that I will have to eventually look for another rental with perhaps only two weeks' notice. If anyone has any issues etc they can message me and I will do my best to help you or to take your concerns to the appropriate people

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
