This year’s Christmas Appeal, Give A Little Joy This Christmas, is critical, with over one in five Kiwi children living in food-insecure households—rising to one in three for Māori and Pacific children: donations fund food, budgeting advice, counselling, gifts, and more.
Help bring joy this Christmas by donating at www.salvationarmy.org.nz... or calling 0800 53 00 00.

This is two beads that have a "dangle" - one is a snake and the other is a butterfly. The back of the snake has a start and the back of the butterfly an O with a crown. I think they are both Pandora charms - or at least the butterfly is!
Will come in a Michael Hill box that has grey ribbon tie. Unfortunately I did write on the bottom of the box (so I knew what was in it without opening).
Could be collected from Masterton by arrangement.
Will fit inside a XS NZ Post courier bag $8.20 + $3 for signature

This is a heavy kennel and will need two, maybe three, strong men to lift it onto a trailer.

Over one in five Kiwi children face food insecurity, with the situation worse for Māori and Pacific families. Rising unemployment and the cost of living crisis are pushing more people into need, but donations and government support are dwindling.
Despite this, The Salvation Army continues to provide vital services, including food, counselling, and lifestyle programmes. Donations, no matter the size, bring long-term change to families, ensuring joy this Christmas and beyond.
