Wanaka- Compassionate Community Raises Funds
A house tour to raise funds for Tessa Cowie of Otautau has shown the warm, compassionate nature of the Wanaka community. Two year old Tessa has Downes Syndrome and is now fighting myeloid leukaemia. Both sets of Tessa’s grandparents live in Wanaka and together with local volunteers organised the house tour. Over 200 tickets sold for $25 each the tour covered seven different styles of housing in and around Lake Wanaka. The organisers were astounded by the response of local people and Mary-Louise Roulston, who helped organise the tour said “The feedback was that everyone really enjoyed the tour- and the sunshine.”
