Puppet recon mission

Kia ora friends,

Our friend is having a bit of a time at the moment, which is about as much detail as I will go into regarding that, but we really need some community assistance.

Something that has been affected by this are our beloved giant puppets. They are in a storage unit that has almost been lost to auction more than once. It's been saved again this morning. They are unable to let anyone move them out of storage, however they have also cut and changed the locks. So even if our friend could get there, unless the payments are up to date there's not much that can be done. This is where we come in. To anyone else, these things stripped back to skeletons look like they could be rubbish and mean nothing. But to those of us who have helped craft these beauties over many years and drag them about Electric Avenue every year, they are larger than life in more ways than one. Perhaps you've been a punter and have appreciated how awesome these things are. Perhaps you just have an appreciation of bonkers creative endeavours. Whatever inspires you, the great cog of capitalising on putting things somewhere would love some money to keep these works of art from being lost forever. At just under $300 a month (and already in arrears despite a significant drop in), this is something that needs a wider scope of help. Ideally would love to literally buy time until said friend can sort something else, but we don't know how long that may be, so please help x
