4 Tuesday September 13 2016 News Fundraiser success for Maddie •From page 1 CDHB’s general manager planning and funding Carolyn Gullery said it was willing to partner with the district council and health providers to deliver the service. “As Cr Miller is aware, CDHB MORE THAN $26,000 was raised for a West Melton girl in need of a kidney transplant. A total of $26,218.10 has been donated to 12-year-old Maddie Collins following a ball held recently for her. Maddie Collins is in need of a kidney transplant and her best hopes of finding a suitable match require her to travel to the United States. The trip is expected to cost $350,000. The ball was held on September 3 and the money was raised from ticket sales, donations and an auction. Fundraising efforts continue with a national mufti day planned for this Friday. West Melton School is joining the fundraising efforts to help ex-pupil Maddie. The event has been put together for schools and businesses across the country to get involved in. West Melton School principal Sue Jackson said the school had no hesitation in getting involved in ‘Mufti Day for Maddie.’ “We were touched by Maddie and her family when she was a student here. Maddie is such a wonderful girl who has so much to offer. Taking part in this event is the least we can do. “We often have mufti days for good causes. I can’t think of a better one than this,” Mrs Jackson said. The mufti day is a fundraising event held across the country for schools and businesses to help raise the money needed for Maddie to get to the US. •To donate to Maddie visit https://givealittle. co.nz/cause/ givethegiftoflifetomaddie. is unable to fund building costs for a facility, but are reliant on a joint process for this initiative,” she said.

SELWYN TIMES Tuesday September 13 2016 5 News Frustration over church repairs • By Tom Doudney SIX YEARS after the September 2010 earthquake, the Hororata community is still in the dark about when its badly damaged heritage church will be restored. When the 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit, the bell tower of St John’s Anglican Church toppled and fell through the roof. Hororata Community Trust trustee Olive Webb said many in the community had expressed frustration with the lack of visible progress on fixing the church. “After the earthquake this building was surrounded by people from the community, some of whom were regular church goers and some weren’t, who were weeping at the destruction of the church,” she said. “We are constantly asked: ‘What’s the time frame, what’s happening?’ and all we can tell them is that we are waiting on a response from [the Church Property Trustees].” HCT has put a proposal to the Church Property Trust on how they can work together towards restoring the church.
