Needing a painting framed for a fundraiser
Hi, I am part of a group who is helping with a a fundraiser Auction for a little girl Maddie Collins who is very sick. She's needing a kidney transplant because of the rarity of her disease she has to travel to the US for treatment and kidney transplant. We are collecting items that will be going into the auction on the 22nd of March being held at the Commodore in Christchurch.
We would love for this auction to be a great success as Maddie needs all the help she can get in order to make it to the US soon!
Some one has donated a beautiful painting on loose canvas. Is there anyone out there that knows how to frame this type of thing?
Does anyone know someone who could frame it at as a donation to the auction? This painting is beautiful and comes with a authentication certificate. We would display the framers name as part of the painting in the auction. A great way to get lots of publicity and future business!
This is for a great cause helping a little girl from Christchurch get a new kidney, and get a chance to live life without sickness.
Please help if you can! Maddie's on facebook and there is a give little set up as well. Please message me if you can help! X Jan

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
