I need a MIRACLE
Hi Neighbours,
I wrote the piece titled ‘Standing on the side of the road - Genuine Hardship’ found on the noticeboard.
LINK: www.neighbourly.co.nz...
I’m very grateful for the kind comments and for ‘Car……’ helping me out.
I explained my medical situation and that I hoped a followup proceedure would fix me. Unfortunately, I’m too complicated for a proceedure and am not expecting to live much longer, thus, I need a miracle. Since I’m not part of a church, I am hoping I can use others and the power of people’s prayers.
….….
I also need to ask for help to sort out WINZ which will help immensely with health costs. For example: The family crisis I’ve been dealing with is improving slowly as expected, but it’s costly. I ran out of gas 3 times last week attending the many appointments.
….….
On top of asking the above, I urgently need food.
I’m exhausted a lot of the time and my body crashes forcing me to sleep a lot. I am hardly able to stand on the side of the road and while I am hoping to leave shortly, a neighbour suggested I ask on our neighbourly website and give my bank account number instead.
….….
I wish I could explain things more but that’s holding me back from posting. Please, contact me if you have questions.
PS: I am more than happy to receive food (and gas) and let you know if others have helped (if that holds you back).

PPS: The silver linings include 'Sprituality' and learning to do things myself.
I can fix a washing machine and build a fence. I have attached a picture of a fence I built myself on days out of hospital. I am now helping neighbours fix their fence, hehe
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Move for Good! Peer fundraising to save rescued baby wild birds
BirdCare Aotearoa, NZ's largest wild bird hospital and rehabilitation centre, is a special charity based in Waitākere, Auckland providing life-saving care to around 6,000 wild birds rescued by community members each year. Many of these patients are endangered native and endemic species. It’s currently baby bird season, and we urgently need to raise enough funds to cover the significant cost of the specialised care required for raising the thousands of orphaned and injured baby birds we receive in our dedicated nurseries during summertime.
As part of our current fundraising campaign, we have launched 'Move for Good', a peer fundraiser encouraging people of all ages to get out into nature and participate in an event (e.g. a walk, run, cycle or swim) or a hike, bushwalk, orienteering, or other fun outdoor activity (e.g. Birdie Bingo shown on our website) and invite friends and family to join or sponsor their challenge, to raise funds to help our hospital continue saving rescued baby birds.
Move for Good is proudly supported by Allbirds and Tree Adventures, and everyone who registers will go in the draw to win a pair of eco-friendly Allbirds sneakers or a Tree Adventures double pass.
We’ll give away a Give a Hoot tote bag from our Digitees store to the first five participants to complete a challenge before 22nd December.

It will be absolutely wonderful if our neighbourhood communities would like to participate in our Move for Good campaign to save rescued baby birds!
