$3,150 donated
Given by 31 generous donors in 4 weeks

Johns getting back on his feet but he isnt there just yet, the bills are stacking up and anything you can spare is hugely appreciated.

Waikato

I am reaching out to the Taupo network who has had the pleasure of John or Helen looking after their health over the years, if you have, you know what amazing talent they are and how giving they are of their time, knowledge and friendship.

Its been a challenging last two years, with Helen having a terrible break to her wrist and permanent damage to the nerve, making work near impossible and now John having been in and out of hospital since Christmas. He has been in not only Rotorua Hospital but also Tauranga, so additional to all the health costs, loss of income there has also been large costs for Accommodation and travel.

I wanted to give them a hand, and thought actually, i bet there is a heap of folks out there batting for them to get better, and happy to give back a little to help them through these tough times - here's is where you can do just that.... Doesn't matter if it is just $5, one less coffee lol, and please pop a little message in there for them to read too, helps lift the spirits hugely.

Thank you Taupo, were a such a neat community, i know this will be well received and supported.

John has been my chiropractor and friend since we moved to Taupo two and a half years ago, and i have got to know Helen through this friendship. They are just the kindest couple.

An update from John and Helen  17 June 2021

I just want to thank everyone for their super kind donations, John is back home and they wrote down a few words of thanks:

Helen and I have been overwhelmed by the kind generosity shown to us through the Give-a-Little page.

It has been a tough 5 months for us both and we are not through the woods yet, with further surgery planned for John in the next two months.

We have been very touched and inspired by your generosity and kind words and want to thank you all for your donations - we so much appreciate everything that we have been given as it has been a massive help through this difficult time.

Bless you all and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

John and Helen Loveday ❤️
