This is a wonderful initiative from Respere, thank you for your support.

Steve D - this may be worthwhile spreading to NZ Red Cross in Thorndon. I
know they'll be swamped, so tread lightly.

I'll contact Robert Patton, who is a fan of the Facebook page, from ADRA who
may be interested.

I don't have any contacts at Oxfam - does anyone think it would be
beneficial to send out a cold email/cold call?
