Like all veterans of a certain age there comes a time when
the usual day to day care is not enough to sustain you. Our
wonderful haven at 56 Eden Street celebrating Janet Frame is showing her age and needs more than
a little TLC.
We are extremely grateful for support we receive from
friends, donors and visitors and these contributions help us with the day to
day expenses each year. Earlier last year it was discovered that the
window frames all needed replacing as they were rotten then later in 2012 much
to our horror it was discovered the plumbing needed extensive repairs as well.
We are trying to raise $6000 to cover the repairs bills for
both sets of repairs and to tidy up after them.
Give a little is an approved charitable platform, now
sponsored by Telecom. This sponsorship means every cent donated goes to
the cause you intended it for. It is also a secure site that transfers
the funds safely to the charity.
We are asking the community of support for 56 Eden
Street to 'give a little' to enable us to fundraise the amount to repair the
property and keep it available to visit and store memories.
Please visit Give a Little on this link and donate to Fix
our House http://www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/fixourhouse
by clicking on the blue Donate now button
about the middle of your screen.
The Janet Frame Eden Street Trust is a registered charity
and all donations are tax deductible. A receipt can be downloaded on the
spot.
I hope you pause from your day to day and help us keep this
wonderful property safe and open to the public.
The Trustees of the Janet Frame Eden Street Trust.
