Let’s help Debbie appeal

Lions Warkworth treasurer Murray Picot popped into the Mahurangi Matters office last week and said the fundraising effort on behalf of Debbie Barber had reached almost $1000. Lions and Mahurangi Matters launched an appeal to assist Debbie after fire gutted her Warkworth home last month (MM May 19).

Generous donors can still help Debbie by depositing cash at the Mahurangi Matters office, 17 Neville Street, Warkworth.

Alternatively, they can deposit money into the Lions Club account 02-0480-0015374-97, reference “Fire”.

The appeal closes on June 14.

Meanwhile, Debbie, who has been staying with family, was hoping to move into a rental property last weekend.

She said she would like to thank the community for their support and the donation of items to help her get back on her feet. 

“I’ve been touched by the generosity of the local population. Thank you,” she said.
