When I suggested to the editor that we do something to help the Swannells reach their target of $65,000 on their Givealittle page so they could open a shelter for the homeless, he took the idea with both hands and flew with it.
A logo was designed, story written and
the Limitless Hope Emergency Shelter Appeal was launched.
Yesterday the generosity of Property Brokers, who have also donated a house, pushed them over the line. Good for them.
However, those who deserve the most praise, apart from the Swannells themselves, are the wonderful generous people of Hawke's Bay who donated anything from $5 upwards.
For without these people the cheque of $5000 from Property Brokers would be worth nothing.
