Lovely gesture

John from Chartwell

I was not feeling too well this morning. Didn't put the paper recycling out last night because of the heavy rain and then when I put it out this morning I realised that the collection truck had already been.
Went out later and took an armful of cardboard boxes across the road to put with the neighbours' stuff, but had to wait with the second lot because of traffic. I have to be especially careful as my eyesight is not too good.
Then - a lovely surprise! A Maori woman, passing by, came across the road to me, and said 'Here, I'll take that across for you!'
A very kind gesture, and very much appreciated.

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.

Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.
