Eryn asks

Kia Ora Larissa, my name is Eryn Gardiner Chair of the Rangataua Sports and Cultural Club in Maungatapu. Blake and Bailee played Junior rugby for us. Just touching base to see if we can assist in any practical way we will post the give a little page to our whanau as well.

Larissa

Hi Eryn, thanks for your message. I’m not sure how you could help in a practical way as they don’t have a house and can’t go to the old one, they aren’t taking any donations of furniture or anything until they have a home to put items in. So I’m a bit lost for ideas. If you wanted to do a fundraiser or once they have a home some furniture items would be good. They’re not taking any clothing anymore as have had so much donations of that it’s been great. Any sort of sports goods or rugby gear could be good for the kids. Or baked goods or packaged non perishable foods. Some help moving or fixing up a new place may be good but who knows when that will be possible. Can contact me on 0277752224 (Larissa)

Claudia asks

Hi Larissa. My name's Claudia - I'm a producer with TVNZ Breakfast. I am so sorry to hear of what your sister and her family have been through this weekend. We would really like to speak with them on our show tomorrow morning and draw attention to the Give A Little Page. Would your sister be happy for you to pass her number along?
