Ram's 60th Birthday Donations for Women's Refuge NZ

Dearest Family and Friends,

To celebrate Appa's 60th Birthday, we are requesting for guests and invitees to not bring any gifts, but to instead donate to Women's Refuge NZ.

Women's Refuge NZ is an amazing organisation that influences the prevention and elimination of domestic violence. This organisation helps liberate women, children and whānau from family violence by providing quality services. Some of their services are:

- Confidential, non judgmental support

- 24 Hour crises line, 0800 REFUGE

- Home and community visits

- Support in isolated regions

- 24/7 access to our safe houses

- Advocacy when dealing with police, legal, court, WINZ, housing, doctors, immigration, school’s and Oranga Tamariki

- Referrals to counsellors, doctors, lawyers and other support services

- Education and support groups for women and children about living free from violence

- Information and presentations to community groups, schools and workplace as part of our Workplace Refuge training

The Ramakrishna Family loves supporting Women's Refuge NZ, and asks for all and any donations in honour of Appa's 60th Birthday.

Feel free to reach out with any questions!
