On Yolanda's birthday, her husband had a major heart attack. They had an entire day planned, but then life threw a spanner into the works.
Yolanda asked Amelie to feed her cat, Koda, but Amelie's family went over and above. They cooked dinners two nights in a row and sent yummy treats during the tough time.
“I was really touched by their love, prayers and generosity. They are amazing. I couldn’t wish for better neighbours,” said Yolanda.
Nominate a Nice Neighbour you know, and they could be recognized on Stuff (and you both win a prize!).

Somewhere between South Wairarapa Working Men's Club and 6 Wood St Friday Night. I am posting this hoping that someone has picked it up. It has two pink breast cancer ribbons on the back. Please be on the look out. This is a necessary item when her handler travels around the country. It is a great educational tool for the general public. If you do find it please place in letterbox of 6 Wood St, or hand in to the staff at Workingmen's club.
Thank you on behalf of Ankie and her handler.
