Kia ora Dunedin Bedding Bank supporters and wider Dunedin community. We are aware there has been many concerns raised around our Givealittle page which makes us quite sad. Though we do not have to explain ourselves I feel we do, just in order to get to the help we need as a charity.
So, to clarify Yes Janine Walker received $10000 from 7 Sharp, ASB Good as Gold award in July 2023. Yes Janine purchased a second-hand vehicle with this money. It was used as needed until unfortunately it was considered unroadworthy, and too expensive to fix. However, this money was for Janine not the charity which was only formed at the beginning of this year.
Janine does not work, she spends every single day volunteering her time to our charity, going out daily to give out resources and food where needed. Helping people find agencies or people to talk to when they are in need. She has agencies phoning her in the middle of the night to ask for support. All of this requires the use of a vehicle. Janine lives week to week and so as a charity we decided to set up this givealittle to help fund a new vehicle for Janine.
We would greatly appreciate the help to reach our goal to be able to do this so we can continue to help people in need. Without a vehicle we cannot do our job
Blessings
Dunedin Bedding Bank team.
