Dawn Pearce is hoping to have her lounge back after Saturday's market at the Fairburn Kaiaka Hall.
Kaitaia woman Dawn Pearce knows how to raise money.
She's been doing it for all sorts of causes for more years than she would care to remember, but her efforts on behalf of the Samaritans in Kaitaia have struck a small snag.
Mrs Pearce has been selling all sorts of
stuff from a location that is no longer available, so she and her fundraising efforts are currently homeless. That's where the Fairburn Kaiaka Community Hall comes in.
"We're having a market day on Sunday, from 10am to around 3pm, as a fundraiser for the Samaritans," hall chairman Peter Niepel said. "They help people in need of food parcels and with other problems, and now we would like to help them.
"Dawn currently has nowhere to sell from, and her house is so full of boxes, crates and clothes racks that she can't move any more, so we're going to help her get rid of some of it.
