Van Urgently Needed To Deliver Supplies To Needy

Based in West Auckland; the Awhi Shed have helped so many in desperate need of not just food but clothing, books, furniture and more on a regular basis. Their team went out into flood impacted areas last year and reached out to those who may have even been too proud or shy to ask for help but needed it.

Most recently they purchased and collected donations of stationery and school supplies for struggling families. Putting smiles on children's faces who may have shown up to school feeling disadvantaged because they didn't even have a school bag let alone stationery.

The Awhi Shed is run by a family who utilise their personal family van to conduct deliveries. Their van is not suitable for heavy loads and due to the high demand for help lately the van is now struggling to stay alive. The funds raised will go towards the purchase of a new delivery van for food, furniture, clothing etc. If their is anything left over, the funds will go towards the ongoing maintenance of the vehicle. They have been offered the opportunity to purchase a great Toyota Hiace that meets all their demands at a discounted rate of $10K (worth $20K). So that is what we are aiming to get them as a minimum! Photos attached is the very Toyota borrowed to make deliveries while their current van is off the road.

Let's help them help others! To be a blessing is a blessing to others and to be blessed is a blessing to us!
