Can you help a woman in a bereavement situation.
Please click on the link below and read about Mariska's situation....
She has lost her father suddenly to illness (passed away the other day) but her mother also had a massive stroke and now Mariska is needed urgently in Holland to bury her father, arrange care for her mother and deal with all the logistics of her parent's affairs and house etc.
I know Mariska and this need is real and genuine. Her original request for help had to be transferred from go-fund-me to give-a-little and that caused all the original donations to be refunded to the donors. She explains on her page. Please follow the link....

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
