Help sought for victims of domestic violence

The Mahurangi-based debt-solution service Debtfix is encouraging people to donate goods to help people who are fleeing domestic violence.

Debtfix co-founder Christine Liggins says the organisation often hears of the financial fallout from such situations.
Frequently women, children and men who manage to escape do so with little more than the clothing on their back.

“During August we are having a big push, asking our community to bring in new things like toothpaste, shampoo, children’s books, nappies and deodorant for men or women,” Christine says.

Donated items will be passed on to I Got Your Back Pack, a charity which provides essential items for those fleeing domestic violence.

Items must be new and where appropriate sealed. They can be left at Debtfix, Unit F/11 Neville Street, Warkworth, during office hours.
