"After a disaster like the 2016 Canterbury Earthquakes in New Zealand, it was difficult to know how to help. What is meaningful support to those in need? The Bridge2Rocks TimeBank contacted Hurunui TimeBank, and made connections with the North Canterbury Response Team. People were exhausted, needed meals. Our community responded with meals and cards of support which were delivered by their local response team to those most in need. The response - 'Could you please pass on our sincere thanks to a little boy called Jordis aged 9 at Mt Pleasant School. We got the most beautiful Xmas card made by him and it meant so much to us all. We were affected deeply by the Kaikoura Quake on 14th Nov. To get this beautiful card from someone we don't know is really awesome. I am passing on thanks to the kind community who sent meals and cards.'" - Julie Lee @ TimeBanks Aotearoa New Zealand . #timebankingis #community #50storiesin50days #timebanks #story #timeasmoney #earthquake http://ow.ly/3Lqz309smkh
