GARAGE SALE FUNDRAISER

Natalia from Bunnythorpe

❤️ Helping Lolo live a better life ❤️
Saturday 20th November 7am—12pm
98 Marne Street

We have a great selection of clothes and shoes (children and adults), outdoor equipment, toys (great Xmas present opportunities! ??) and a collection of label clothing that will be a steal of a deal ?!!

Please help us raising funds for the treatment needed for Lolo to live a better life. Lorenzo, aka "Lolo" is almost 2 years old. He was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 (the worst grade). To improve his quality of life, Lolo needs a very expensive treatment with a novel drug called Zolgensma which costs USD $2.125 million. With the help from friends from Argentina and from all around the world, Lolo has managed to raise half the amount needed!! And now the government and private health insurance provider will be financing the rest of the money that is needed to cover the cost of Lolo's medication!

We will keep supporting Lolo is his journey, as these news means that now Lolo needs to start preparing for a long trip and probably a long stay away from home while the treatment is being organised and given to him.

Please do keep supporting this cause, and come check our garage sale on the 20th November. We have a great selection of clothes and shoes (children and adults), outdoor equipment, toys and a collection of label clothing that will be a steal of a deal!!

With love and gratitude
Lolo's little helpers

Thanks again!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
