Wainui’s caring community

Wainuiomata’s caring community spirit is very evident in three recent Facebook posts.

“Thank you to the man and lady who helped me and my three-year-old from my car this morning on the Wainui hill,” one post says.

“We had a major crash and our car had spun out on a puddle of running water as we were heading into Wainui.

“[I] honestly thought that was the end for us but grateful we’ve come out with only a few knocks and bruises.

of encouragement to not give up riding his scooter definitely made me quietly eat humble pie.

“I judged without knowing,” the post says.

“Shout out to the legend Post Haste driver today [21 July] by the Parkway/Wellington Road pedestrian crossing who went out of his way to collect my hat when it flew off into the middle of the busy road as I was crossing with my new born and dog,” another post says.

“The car took most of the brunt. But again thank you for pulling over and helping us out,” the post says.

“[I] just want to thank the mob members that helped my young man today when he fell off his scooter today down Queen Street,” the other post says.

“As you can imagine not having much interaction with them, I was a little taken back but seeing how you didn’t hesitate making sure he was okay ,and your words

“I accepted my hat was a complete goner until this man drove back around the roundabout, got out of his van and picked it up for me, then drove to us and passed it back.

“As a new m m , juggling a newborn is hard at the best of times and a flying hat does not make life any easier but people like you do.

“Cheers for helping me not have a meltdown about a hat today. Sending you good vibes.”
