Help Fix Khaled's Garden

$4,540 donated

Given by 118 generous donors in 9 days

Khaled's garden was destroyed this week because some New Zealander's decided to choose hate. I want to help Khaled rebuild his garden.

Wellington

Earlier this week, Khaled's garden was vandalised and 1750 of his 2000 of his plants were destroyed by some people in the Hutt Valley. I want to help him to rebuild because I don't think it's good enough for this to happen in New Zealand.

All of the money we raise will be donated directly to Common Unity, who work with Khaled, so they can help him buy more plants so his garden can be rebuilt.

Rosie Collins' involvement (page creator)

I'm involved because I've visited Common Unity at Epuni Primary School before, and have spent time in the school garden with them. They deserve so much love for what they do in their community, and I don't think it's right that hate lead some to destroying a Syrian refugee's livelihood. Hate just breeds hate, and I don't want that in New Zealand.
