Riccarton ChCh. Our house undamaged so want to help someone who needs temporary accommodation, up to a week or so. we have a double room with ensuite and a room with single bed, and could put a stretcher in. Full use of kitchen, contribution towards food would be appreciated. Would suit family with 2 young children We have 4 kids aged 4-10, so you'd need to be happy with a bit of organised chaos. I have registered with Civil Defence too via the Welfare Centres.
YanninaTuesday 7th September 2010 - 08.02pm
My husband and I can host one person in Riccarton for up to a couple of weeks. It's only a wee house but its still standing! We're near Westfield mall and on good bus routes (once there's a few more buses). May suit someone who needs to go into the city daily. Text or call 0273855979.

Hi Terry,

Sorry, only just saw your reply now and the site did not email me to say there was a response. If you are still after a place to stay, flick me a text or call me on 027 498 1635. My wife did call the shelter this afternoon to let them know we had spare rooms too.

Cheers,
Chris

For anyone who requires a place to stay in while we deal with the earthquake. We have a private room with single bed and a futon couch in the lounge that suits two people. A bit about ourselves we have a little boy very keen to help other people who require a better place to stay than a welfare center. We would like to help anyone but would prefer parents with young children as we believe that a welfare center is no place for them after seeing two toddlers sleeping beside each other on a mattress at the welfare center. Anybody who shows interested can pay for the stay in anyway they can upon mutual agreement. Contact details are 0800 EZI WASH 0800 3949274

Should have mentioned, my house is in central Akld (Ponsonby) and I'd be happy to pick you up from the airport. Kate.
