We have to be out by 24th January. It could not have come at a worse time really.. anywhos, I am just putting the message out there to see if anyone can help us into a property by that date.
I am a fulltime Bachelor in Social Work student and part time worker. My partner is in the Demolition business. We have one medium sized well behaved furbaby (dog) who we have excellent references for, for this property, and the last one we were at with him.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
a good friend of mine, Michelle Beri owns the Waiau Historic Hotel which has been red stickered from the damage the November 14th earthquake did. The money raised will go towards living expenses and to help her open another premises in the meantime until the hotel has been re-built.
Anything you can afford will be much appreciated.

If anyone has or knows someone who has a suitable caravan or old food type truck that they would be willing to donate or let her borrow in the meantime so she has some income, please message me and I will pass it onto her.

Fundraising on behalf of my friend Michelle and Lindsay to help raise funds to get the tavern back up and running and support them along the way.

The Waiau historic tavern was destroyed in the November 14th Earthquake. Michelle and co-owner Lindsay Collins purchased the tavern 18 months ago after moving there to start a fresh after the Christchurch earthquakes. They are facing hardship once again and without any income are uncertain about the future of the tavern. You can show your support by donating whatever you can to help them through these hard days ahead.

All funds go towards Michelle'e living expense and the rebuild of the pub.
