Mary Potter Hospice street appeal this weekend
Our Karori Lions Club member, Jennie, was organising a roster of collectors (club members and other good folk) for the Mary Potter Hospice street appeal in Karori Mall this Friday but, unfortunately, the Mall owners have felt unable to allow a collection on their premises because we are still subject to Covid-19 Level 2 restrictions. This situation also applies to many other sites where this collection was to have taken place on Friday and Saturday and is likely to have a serious impact on the Hospice's fund-raising this year. I understand that collecting on the street will still be allowed, but the uncertainty of the weather, and the “vulnerability” of many collectors, will mean that only one or two people will be out in Karori.
Many of us have personal experience of the value of the palliative care offered by the Hospice at no cost to friends and family, so I am urging my contacts to consider making a donation to MPH though their website donations page (marypotter.org.nz...) if they are unable to track down a collector on the street, and to pass on this appeal to their friends as well. Those who are outside the area served by Mary Potter, or who have their own favourite palliative care provider, please consider making a donation to another of those organisations doing such great work – they are all having to face up to additional problems brought on by Covid-19.
