GARAGE SALE FUNDRAISER
❤️ Helping Lolo live a better life ❤️
Saturday 20th November 7am—12pm
98 Marne Street
We have a great selection of clothes and shoes (children and adults), outdoor equipment, toys (great Xmas present opportunities! ??) and a collection of label clothing that will be a steal of a deal ?!!
Please help us raising funds for the treatment needed for Lolo to live a better life. Lorenzo, aka "Lolo" is almost 2 years old. He was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 (the worst grade). To improve his quality of life, Lolo needs a very expensive treatment with a novel drug called Zolgensma which costs USD $2.125 million. With the help from friends from Argentina and from all around the world, Lolo has managed to raise half the amount needed!! And now the government and private health insurance provider will be financing the rest of the money that is needed to cover the cost of Lolo's medication!
We will keep supporting Lolo is his journey, as these news means that now Lolo needs to start preparing for a long trip and probably a long stay away from home while the treatment is being organised and given to him.
Please do keep supporting this cause, and come check our garage sale on the 20th November. We have a great selection of clothes and shoes (children and adults), outdoor equipment, toys and a collection of label clothing that will be a steal of a deal!!
With love and gratitude
Lolo's little helpers

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
