Helping Our Local Community

Te Awamutu, Waikato

Hi everyone, introducing Taylor. Taylor is a proud single mother of three children, all under the age of 3. Taylor has had a super tough time over the past few months & is now living in a new rental home with a large lawn to take care of. Taylor is a TA local & has lived here town most of her life. Taylor has no lawn mower & her budget is super tight. Her children are scared to play outside as the grass is so long & hides insects, bees etc.

Taylor approached Rosetown Backyard Affairs to provide a quotation for clearing her section & then provide regular mowing after that. Unfortunately, Taylor has a larger section and even though we quoted the best that we could, the price that we provided to her, she is unable to afford.

At Rosetown Backyard Affairs, we are all about helping our local community & we really wanted to help fix this problem for this lovely deserving mum. Her children should be able to play outside like every Kiwi child in the summer-time.

Grant & Diane decided to drop her section for her for free & then buy Taylor her own lawn mower, weed eater & sprayer so she keep her section tidy without worrying about how she is going to pay for it. To help with these costs for her and for any other deserving people, we have started this funding page to help us fund this. If you would like to donate even a $1 or $5 to this deserving mum, please click on the link. Any left-over funds will go into our fund to help other deserving people in similar situations.

Grant Austin's involvement (page creator)

A community member in our local town approached us for lawnmowing. We could not provide this for her within her budget and we felt terrible for her. She is a financially struggling single mum with 3 kids under 3 that just needs a break.

Use of funds

The money will be spent buying Taylor a lawnmower, weed sprayer and a weed eater and reimburse us for our costs for first clearing of section we have already done (this took us approx. 6 hours due to the state and length of it).

I know how it feels having 3 under 5s and being a solo mum, this is such a beautiful cause to support this mama! Perhaps you could write a letter for sponsorship from Mitre10 to see of they would be happy to help out too, the local newspaper could be helpful for increased reach. Best wishes for the future!
