Canterbury Earthquake - ways we can all help

I saw on the news tonight that the rescue centres have a shortage of pillows, if any locals have any spare. I also saw kids playing with toys that had been donated, so I'm thinking I'll get the kids to go through the bookcase tomorrow & pull out some books/toybox for some toys. (I also thought some homemade jam from the cupboard may be useful?)

For those further afield, there are RedCross & Sally Army details in the link above for monetary donations.

I have pillows but no idea how I'll get them there, if anyone from over my way is going swing by and pick up my pillows?

I'm in Shirley, so not really anywhere near you lol. I'll have a fair bit of stuff actually looking at nicky's list so I might see if a friend or maybe my flatmate can take it over.... all those baby skin products we never used and I never threw out might be handy yet will have to sort through DS's drawers and wardrobe in the morning

Yeah I'd happily see if I've got stuff also....maybe if there are other Auckland ladies who want to send stuff we could pool our resources?

Mum is flying down tomorrow mid-morning. Excess baggage is $15 per piece (not sure of size limit), if it works out cheaper having her bring it that way, that is an option. (not sure what room Mum will have in her checked luggage - puzzles/colouring books etc may fit in with ease?)

When I dropped stuff in today they were so excited to see the bag of books/puzzles/games/colouring in books & felts etc, if that's a help with focus of need...
