Hi neighbours – Loud Shirt Day is coming up in September and it's time to use your power of LOUD for GOOD.

Izabella was born profoundly deaf and in the four years following her diagnosis, her parents' emotions of shock, being scared and overwhelmed have turned to amazement, surprise and hope - all thanks to Izabella's progress as a hearing and speaking child.

Izabella loves to sing and dance, she enjoys gymnastics, bike rides and playing with her older brothers. What are her superpowers I hear you ask? She's fierce, adventurous and caring!

Register to fundraise and help deaf children like Izabella listen and speak. You can also donate here on Givealittle. Thanks for your support!

Do you need some financial advice?
A new budgeting service now operates from the Citizens Advice Bureau in Helensville.
Visitors can book an appointment with an experienced budgeter who has spent 22 years in the fields of consumer affairs and employment issues plus working in finance and mediation.
The service adds to the traditional information supplied in Helensville and across the network of New Zealand CABs.
Karen Rutherford, CAB Helensville office manager, says this is a great boost to what volunteers currently offer.
“Experience shows us that the skills coming on board with this new initiative will be sought after and appreciated.”
“The benefit to the wider community will be a greater degree of public awareness about the difference sensible budgeting can make to families or individuals- on low incomes in particular.”
The Helensville CAB is always on the lookout for volunteers wanting to give a little of their time and expertise to their community. Full training is given and a friendly team atmosphere is assured. Contact Karen Rutherford by email manager.helensville@cab.org.nz or phone 09 420 7162.
