FINAL WEEK

Lesley from Carterton District

Masks for Life: Fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis NZ.

We started making masks for our family members, and have extended into the community. We have quilted and sewn for many years, so our masks are excellent quality.

We do not charge for the masks, but ask people to go online and make a donation to Cystic Fibrosis NZ at give.everydayhero.com... We suggest that people might like to donate $15 for one mask, or $25 for two, but leave the amount paid entirely up to the purchaser.

Cystic Fibrosis is an incurable genetic condition that affects both the lungs and the digestive system. Until very recently there has been no cure and no effective treatment. Life expectancy for someone with Cystic Fibrosis is around 35 years. We have a five year old in our family with Cystic Fibrosis, and know first-hand the level of support needed by both the child and the family.

We also ask people to go online and sign the petition to the NZ Govt, to fund Trikafta which is a new “miracle drug” for Cystic Fibrosis sufferers. (www.parliament.nz...)

Our masks are:
• Fitted style
• 100% cotton
• Double layer
• High thread count quilter’s fabric
• Reversible
• Anti-fogging style (great if you wear glasses)
• Three sizes (child, Med, Large)

If you would like masks please contact: Lesley 0212996389
Pickup Carterton, and can deliver to Greytown and Featherston

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.
