Helping our friend Simi replace her car after a crash left her without transport — grateful for any support.

Waipu, Northland

Our amazing workmate and friend, Simone, recently had her car written off after being hit from behind while simply waiting to turn into her street on the way home from work. Thankfully, she was incredibly lucky to walk away with only minor injuries – but unfortunately her car did not survive.

Because the insurance payout from the other driver won’t come close to covering the cost of a reliable replacement car. With the rising cost of living, this unexpected setback has been a huge financial strain.

Simone is one of those rare people who is always putting others first. Whether she’s fundraising for breast cancer, coordinating food drives for animal shelters, or baking and sharing her legendary cooking with anyone even if they aren’t in need but just love her cooking, she gives her time and energy so generously. On top of that, as a dedicated veterinary nurse, she spends her days caring for and saving the pets who are part of our families.

Now it’s our turn to help Simone. We’d love to raise anything we can to contribute towards getting her a safe, reliable car so she can continue doing what she does best – looking after others.

✨ Every little bit will make a difference – no matter the amount. ✨

Thank you so much for helping us give back to someone who truly deserves it.
