GARAGE SALE FUNDRAISER
❤️ 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

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?
Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

62.8% Summer

1.4% Other - I'll share below
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
