Support for Wiremu

Dear friends,

If you have been wondering we’re our ray of sunshine is, that welcomes all with so much love and enthusiasm at our local Kmart, unfortunately he has had many health difficulties due to a collapsed lung after catching pneumonia and has been in Waikato hospital now for one month.

Wiremu is a true blessing to our community. So many here have benefited from a greeting that makes us all feel love and kindness, acceptance and for many noticed when we walk through those Kmart doors, always brightening up our days.

He is missing all his customers and clients and said you are all like family to him and he can not wait to see you all again soon.

He is on the mend, but we know some financial support would really help him as we have no idea as to how long he will need to recover for.

Whether you could spare $2 or $200 it doesn’t matter - every little bit helps. All funds will go directly to Wiremu.

Thank you so much for your generosity
