not-for-profit has had items stolen for 4th time this yea :(
Wellington
I run a not for profit and I send free period items out to those in need and free surgery boxes to those having surgery for Endometriosis and yet again I have had items stolen :(
Earlier this year in Feb we had about 50+-period packs go missing, then some more in May including our surgery care packs & in June we had about 12 tens-machines stolen valued at about $500 &yesterday we had 13 free surgery care packs go missing, assumed stolen.I have also had 38 cartons of oat milk stolen, these were marked as delivered on 31 Aug and I contacted the company today to say we had not got them, only to be told they were delivered and the courier has confirmed it.
I am not a massive not for profit, I am one person who works so hard to get donations & do fundraising, I account for every cent, I am lucky to now have some amazing volunteers help me out with some work, yes I probably should have got a security camera a long time ago,but I have so little funds to go towards the work I do I was trying to make every cent counts to help people.I'm so heartbroken that this keeps happening, our surgery care boxes are put together by donations from businesses and items I buy with donated funds to make them very special.I now have to replace all these boxes so that means other boxes will be delayed, Funds I was trying to build on so I can help fight period poverty in our community by gifting 8000 people in our community free reusable period items by mid-2023
