The Star Thursday July 18 2019 10 $1.1m gifted for long-term needs of terror attack victims MORE THAN $1.1m has been donated to help support the long-term needs of victims of the March 15 terror attack. In a ceremony with Mayor Lianne Dalziel yesterday, the international Jewish community gifted the money, which will be known as the NZ Abrahamic Fund. Said Ms Dalziel: “The Christchurch Foundation regard it as a privilege to act as stewards for the NZ Abrahamic Fund on behalf of everyone affected by the attacks. The world will remember the response long after they forget the name of the person who committed this atrocity. Today is art of our healing. Stephen Goodman NEWS The attack as designed to divide us, but instead it united us.” New Zealand Jewish Congregation spokesman Stephen Goodman said the Jewish community are unfortunately, well aware of the long term needs that stem from such an attack. “We see this as something that can enhance our two communities. An attack on one faith is an attack against all faith groups.” The official ceremony was preceded by a visit to the Durham St Synagogue and the Al Noor mosque. Speaking at Al Noor Mosque, Imam Gamal Fouda, who was leading prayers the day of the attacks, said the three Abrahamic religions are very close, and Judaism and Islam are closest of all. “We are siblings. What is happening in the Middle East is not about religion, it’s about politics. People of religion share love and humanity. New Zealand has set a good example of love and compassion. We are a model to the rest of the world.” Community advocate dies • By Sophie Cornish A COMMUNITY hero whose dying wish was to make her neighbourhood safer has lost her battle with cancer. Gillian Sheard, of Richmond, died on Friday after being diagnosed about eight months ago. She was given three to 18 months to live.

Last month, The Star reported Ms Sheard’s determination had paid off when she won her battle with city council when the infrastructure, transport and environment committee asked staff to look at improving the crossing.

I said no, you’re not going to do that,” she said. and often it isn’t until the invoices come in that they start looking at it and realise something is amiss. “We would warn companies who have had employees dismissed from the company or had “I’m a person that is determined, I will go full hog and make something happen.” Her passion for the cause led Ms Sheard to collect 500 signatures in a petition from employees leave that had access to fuel cards to make sure their fuel cards are returned at the time or immediately before they leave their employment and if not, cancel the fuel card,” he said.
