Our Annual Street Appeal raised an amazing total of $31,900. This will go a long way towards caring for Hutt Valley patients with a life limiting or terminal illness and provide much needed support for their families. Thank you to all our amazing volunteers and to everyone who donated!

We simply couldn’t provide the service we do, free of charge, to all those who need it without the generous support of our community.

If you didn’t get a chance to donate during the Appeal, and you would still like to, you can donate online at www.teomanga.org.nz...

Re: Washing Machine

Noella from Petone

Hi, my washing machine has just decided to stop working. It’s a Haier model top loaded, shows code E1. Can anyone recommend a cheap fixer? I was told $99 just for a tech to come out and $20 for every 10 minutes!
