Catherine Beggs, 65, and her family have survived three Auckland floods in 10 months – but the same can’t be said for her Mt Roskill home.
“The house flooded in March last year. Water came up underneath the house, and down the roof. I ended up having to buy a new roof,” Beggs said.

But once again consecutive governments have failed to support the elderly. Required is dedicated paid support by people who have the appropriate training.
To encourage neighbours to check in on the elderly next door, then make a plan. Even at a glance, this intervention can be fraught with numerous issues, from relatively minor to terribly major.
The community is under tremendous stress currently. The particular financial cost of living. Many proud workers, who are the breadwinners are reduced to applying for food parcels/grants. Hard-working good people. Like many in our community, there is a real sense of desperation. It is not beyond human nature to behave badly when stressed in extreme circumstances. I can think of another 8 or 9 hypothetical situations that can occur.
As we age our personalities can change, sadly for some to a very challenging level. How would the next-door neighbour appropriately deal with this situation, without any formal training? Possibly a dangerous environment for both parties.
For many elderly forgetfulness (not dementia) is part of the aging process. Innocently checking on your elderly neighbour could cause conflict, "I'm sure I had $10 yesterday, did I give it to you"?
I would truly hope this to be my own machination, but numerous court hearings nationwide testify to these concerning issues.
Once again the intention of the Hello Project is great, but. . .
Kind regards Gabriel Peita

If you’re living alone and would like some extra support, get to know your neighbours, reassure them that you're okay with them checking in on you, and together make a plan and talk through what warning signs to look out for should something be wrong. It could just save your life.

I have a question or two??? How does one read a water rates bill? I rent and i tell you what. I have had varying accounts of water bills. I can't seem to get my head around them. I think i do need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. I have asked my property manager to please explain and don't really get much sense from there. I do know that the fixed amount is paid by the Land Lord. But the rest is mumbo jumbo to me. It tends to go up and down like a yo yo. I also know that the water meter is read and estimated. But what i have a problem with is that watercare in doing so helps themselves when its estimated to quite a bit of your funds which i think that they think that you have a money tree out back specially for them and charge you heaps and then the next thing you know you go into credit??? what the hack. Credits fine but they have my money. What do you guys think and who can figure this thing out for me. Thanks all. Julia
