Sweet Louise Fundraiser
Hello,
For those who aren't familiar with me or what I am doing. I am a Feilding born and bred local named Shahmea Nowakowsky, who has committed to walking 50K this May to help provide support for men and women living with advanced and incurable breast cancer. I am fundraising for the charity Sweet Louise which provides some amazing support free of charge, for those in need. The charity does not receive NZ Government funding and therefore relies on the hard work of fundraisers like me, and the generous support of donors, to continue to be able to help those who need it.
I have raised $683 so far and smashed my goal of 50km!!!!
I am shocked to have raised so much. My goal was $500 and even that seemed quite high. I want to thank my generous supporters and the businesses backing me, who have helped me achieve this goal. I never could have gotten this far without you all.
💪 I may be over my goal of $500 and I may have walked 50K this May, but the month isn't over yet. Which means, I'm not done yet! I am continuing to do my part to help Sweet Louise. I believe it is a worthy cause and would love to receive any and all support I can get in my fundraising to support it. See below for how you can help with my fundraising cause and support me:
👉 For every $1 donated, I will walk an extra 100m. So donate $10 and I'll walk an extra 1km. If you want to get behind my fundraising cause and if you want to motivate me to walk even further - even $1 helps. Seriously. You can donate to my cause here: walk50kthismay.nz...
👉 I currently have a raffle going that gives you 4 chances of winning.
The prizes are the following:
- 1st prize: One large custom ice cream cake (RPP $50). Feeds 20 people.
- 2nd prize: 4x $5 ice cream vouchers.
- 3rd prize: 4x $5 ice cream vouchers.
- 4th prize: 2x $5 ice cream vouchers.
Tickets are $3 and I have 55 still to sell. These tickets MUST GO for the raffle to be drawn. All proceeds go to Sweet Louise, I do not profit from this at all.
If you want to purchase a ticket - you can do so here: m.facebook.com...
Thank you, Shahmea xx
⚠️ 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 ❤️

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
