Tomorrow we're supporting DIABETES NZ by holding a DO THE BLUE day. Dress up in blue, eat a blue lunch, and please bring along a gold coin to donate to this great cause.

Krystal and her three daughters need our support following the red-stickering of their home due to the Dunedin floods this month. Everything they own has had to be left behind and they're searching for somewhere to live.

Two of Krystal's friends have set up a Give-a-Little page so that our caring community can help Krystal provide the essentials for her children.
