“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.”
Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.
Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.
The following are individuals, beneficiaries, and executors of estates we have managed under the Public Trust Act 2001. We’re asking these people to please contact Public Trust at contactus@publictrust.co.nz

Anyone who is fully vaccinated can request a pass by visiting mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478. The vaccine pass can be downloaded as an image on your phone, added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay, or printed out as a hard copy.
Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins has asked people to be patient and request their passes over the next few days, as the website has already seen an overwhelming demand since it was launched this morning.
Passes will not be required to access essential businesses such as schools, supermarkets, or pharmacies, but more details on how they will be implemented are expected to be outlined in the press conference at 1pm today.
What you need to know:
• You can request a vaccine pass at mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478.
• If you don't receive an email with your pass within 24 hours, email the My Covid Record team on help@mycovidrecord.min.health.nz or call 0800 222 478. Check your spam folder first.
• The pass will be required later this year to enter some businesses and venues.
• There are separate passes you can request for domestic use and international travel.

This is the LAST WEEK to make your Resene Colour Your Community nomination so make sure you take a few minutes to share a few words about an organisation, business or community project that needs a bit of a refresh. It could be for a park bench that's seen better days, a building that's wilting, a children's playground that lost its shine or a wall that's a bit of a bore.
Apply now for up to $1000 worth of Resene paints, wood stains and products to spruce up an area in your 'hood.
There'll be five winners announced later this month - plus you'll be invited to vote for the People's Choice Award.

more possibilities to see him back home.

Over the weekend those placards will be all over the place.
More chances to find Skoota, more eyes looking for him...
more possibilities to see him back home.
We had No conclusive sightings despite of an amazing community spirit from Whangarei to Cape Reinga.
Your support has been beyond anything we could imagine and you all are our heroes.
Hours and hours of search, thousands of people aware of who Skoota is...
But tonight as painful as it can be we have to come to reality for the following:
Skoota had a brutal and fatal accident in the surrounding bush and we will not see him again.
Skoota has not been killed on the roads, but as he was worried about cars and their noise he would rarely run on them. We drove 100s of Kms and would have found him lying dead.
If somebody unfortunately hit him please come forward and tell us. No judgement no blame... but a closure for us. Just like when you loose a child.
Skoota was shot as he was mistaken for a stray dog. Again if you did it or know someone who did it please come forward and let us know. No blame no anger ... just a closure for us. Just like when your child is shot by mistake.
Skoota was taken by those people from the underground fighting dogs ring and fed the animals. We will not see him again and no one will come forward... but there is Karma.
Finally Skoota is kept hostage for different reasons.
So if you read this and have Skoota alive we will consider a payment also called " reward" only for his safe return or unmistakable information leading to the guaranteed return of Skoota to his family.
Our numbers are on the document down below.
