This page has been set up to support Gandalf with costs for legal fees & repairing damage to his property caused during the event on 25/02

Northland

On Tuesday 25th February 2025 Gandalf, a renowned "Green Fairy" was raided by Police.

They destroyed his Polyhouses and medicinal plants with axes and sledgehammers and ransacked his home.

This travesty has sent a shock wave through our community.

Gandalf has helped hundreds of patients all over Aotearoa NZ and now he needs your help.

For years Gandalf has supported hundreds of very sick, vulnerable patients suffering pain and discomfort from conditions such as cancer, epilepsy, end of life care, chronic pain and many other debilitating conditions and symptoms.

He has lived and served this community regardless of potential raids and the loss of property and freedom.

Gandalf is currently facing massive legal costs and costs to repair the damage to his property caused by Police.

Gandalf had wound down his growing operation and was focusing solely on growing vegetables for his community, Hare Krishna, soup kitchens, pensioners, and the homeless.

Gandalf doesn't drive a Mercedes, he has no interest in expensive clothing or finery of any sort. He doesn't have savings for a rainy day or money to fix his roof when it does rain.

He is a man of great integrity and courage who gifted a vast amount of product to unwell folk who could not afford the cost. He would never let a patient go without medicine due to lack of funds.

Please support this fight for his freedom and our community.

Kia kaha 💚
