Savvy Seniors group unable to continue after van stolen…
Savvy Seniors is a well-patronized activity group for senior citizens in the worst affected parts of Christchurch. However on 12/11/14 their only travel van was heartlessly stolen and they may have to wind up the service, due to the large costs that this theft has incurred.
This vital service provides a monthly activity programme for seniors, picking them up from their door and taking them out to a range of activities.
For many, it is the only form of social contact they get in a month. It provides a caring, door-to-door pick up for older and less mobile Cantabrians, many of whom have no other way to get out and socialize. It assists hundreds of seniors to form new friendships, which for many becomes very difficult after a certain age.
All money gratefully received will go directly back into Savvy Seniors, to cover the costs of a replacement van, and the lost contents.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and considering giving your help to some of Christchurch’s oldest citizens who have already been through so much.
Thankyou sincerely
Savvy Seniors team
Yes, it all helps, especially in these amounts. Very gratefully appreciated. Many many thanks. Phil & Anne
That's fantastic. Thank you so much. We will visit you again soon.
Many, many thanks for your donation. We are struggling to find a vehicle with the right certificate for passengers, so this will help us along for a while longer. Thank you again.
Thank you for your donation. We and our passengers enjoy our trips too much to give them up so thank you from us and them.
Many thanks indeed. It is going slowly and hard to find a replacement, but there are a few people helping us look, and other like yourself helping in other ways. Many thanks again.
