Created by founder Sarah Robb of @springwithsarah Christmas Connection is a heartfelt initiative designed to bring comfort and connection to those who may find this time of year challenging due to the death of a loved one.

This year we have teamed up with our friends at @endoflifeplanning.me so that Sarah's beautiful initiative can be delivered in Wellington as well as Christchurch and Auckland.

We invite you to be a part of this meaningful journey by sharing a personal message to your loved ones who have passed away.

Your words will be etched onto wooden Christmas decorations, creating a beautiful and poignant memorial throughout December.

On Christmas Day, these heartfelt messages are ceremoniously burned in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, allowing them to be sent to your loved ones who have passed away.

Here is a reel to show you what it is all about, starting in Christchurch, Auckland and now in Wellington. www.instagram.com...

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
If you're in Wellington: Visit the below link to write your heartfelt message www.endoflifeplanning.me...

If you're in Christchurch you can pop into a library or use this link to pass on your message springwithsarah.com...

Going away for Christmas/summer holidays? Have pets at home who need to be taken care of?
Me and my girlfriend Karolina are both big animal fans and can help you out while you’re enjoying your holidays! We are available for all around Christmas and have done over 6 other pet feeding jobs so you can trust we will get what your pets require done. Rates for other jobs have ranged 20-30$ a visit but are dependent on distance and time required rather than how many pets need to be cared for. We are also happy to water plants as a different service if you have high maintenance plants that need to be looked after. Please feel free to contact me on 027 588 4889 by text if you would like to clarify details or outline your interest. Happy holidays. 😇

I came home and made more flyers and distributed them around the location where she was seen. Then I had a second phone call to tell me that she was found, but sadly, she was an angel at 7 pm. I had never thought that she could come back home. I did not give up on finding her because everybody's support from the community kept me going. She is now at home, sleeping in her hammock in her cage as she used to do instead of sleeping in the cold forest. Thank you so much for your care and support. She loved flying. Now she can fly high up in the sky to go over the rainbow.
