The CHCH City mission has been pleasantly surprised at the number of people who've donated their cost of living payment to them, well done those people.

"The payment is targeted at most people with a salary less than $70,000.
Christchurch City Mission communications adviser Ewan Sargent said five people donated their payments immediately after receiving them on Monday, and more donations had come through since the charity posted about it on Facebook.

Thank you so much all those people who have donated their cost-of-living payments to us. We were humbled and amazed when these donations started coming in. Many people told us they didn’t need the money for themselves and had decided a better use would be helping us to look after others who are doing it hard – just like the 71-year-old we told you about in our last post. Kindness like this is what makes a community great. Thank you again.
Christchurch City Mission fed over 4000 people in July, with almost a third of those people being children, and Sargent said their housing and social services also remained busy.
"We will be supporting a lot of people in many different ways this winter."

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
