HELP PLAINS FM REPLACE OUR STOLEN, BURNT OUT VEHICLE
Stolen, dumped and burned to billy-o. Plains FM is fund-raising for a replacement vehicle! Can you Give A Little? Please share this link!
Christchurch, Canterbury
Rotten thieves stole our station vehicle in January 2024, damaged it, dumped it and then someone set it alight. It is our roving billboard and used for all sorts of visits to community groups and events.
Staff could all fit into it! We miss it and although it was insured the market value is nowhere near the amount we need to replace it with another newer but second-hand model.
We need to raise an extra $8000.
Can you help?!

We'd love to say we have bought a new station vehicle but we are not quite there yet! We have tagged your donation to this project and are currently working on raising a few more funds so we can purchase a model a bit newer than the original burnt out one. Thank you so much for your help so far. We really appreciate it!
