Katiepie donation thread (a Kiwi Biker whip round)

[Cloggy]

Donation made to a very good cause. Most excellent idea.

[Reckless]

Said she would get by.

Ain't that typical Katiepie only makes me want to give a bit more.
Some things you don't get to choose! Like when you crash or how your friends decide to be there for you!
There's even a donation coming from Aussy! Good shit aye!!

Thinking seriously about something for the EMS/Fireies/Westpac crews they are great people.

From reading Facebook Mr Eagle I think there has been a gift basket organised and the wellington crew have some other stuff sussed out! Good on them! A+++
This little excercise is for our Katie!

[sels1]

There aren't words to describe our Katiepie,so generous in so many ways,therefore donation coming... like it or not Katie.

Yep, I'll second that

[Reckless]

right all you hubcap stealer's time to pat yourselves on the back!!!

We have a new total with a lot of the donations so that's bloody awesome guys an girls!
Just like to repeat what I posted earlier

One persons $20 is anothers $500! Depends on your income I suppose but it all means the same in the end! Something good we can do for another!

any amount donated is just awesome! Keep it coming!

Well done all you KB'ers. You're not half bad for such a rough and ready lot

Someone maybe able to answer this...
Katie will be covered by ACC.
Years ago, I had ACC cover for an injury and was off work for a while.
I received the 80% ACC cover for my time off work.
When they (ACC) found out I had received money from another source, they wanted their money back..
Will a very public collection put in jeopardy any ACC cover that Katie will receive?

[Quasi]

thats a valid point maha and we have wondered about this. There a re some thoughts on this
A - do ACC even need to know. If katie has been given a cash gift from friends, how do they know
B - could it be regarded as a "loan"

What type payment was the other source money you got (without appearing to nosey) - if it was income form another source, then yes - that def going to affect what ACC give you

i know there will be someone here who can give us an answer.

This is exactly correct. As much as it is well meaning, it can become in the end quite a thorn for her to sort out with ACC - and being the good honest person she is she would oblige and declare the funds.

[cowboyz]

it really needs to be stressed to Katie that this is something that people WANT for her. I have spoken to her a couple of times and she WILL give this money to something that she seems more worthy (which in her mind will be anything). Its not right that she passes it on and needs to know that she is a very caring person that people WANT to do this for.. say thankyou and use the money to benefit a tough situation.

[Quasi]

guess we can also handle this so that katie doesnt even have to go near the money - eg. Use the funds to buy her new gear etc.

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

Knowing Katie she''ll more than likely just donate it to lifeflight/ st johns or the like.

Either way, happy to donate.

That's brilliant - ( run out of bling.)

I'm not sure a monetary gift comes under earnings though. Either way, I'm in!

[ecko_nzed]

So how about we lease her some stuff at a fair and reasonable rate of say $0 per month. Keep the bean counters at ACC happy?

Who's looking after her pets? I don't live far from Katie, so would be happy to feed/walk them? could start by feeding them our cat

[Quasi]

Hey Ecko - pets all sorted , but thanks for the kind offer. KB'ers have been awesome with all the help. Katie gonna need everything and anything we can do for her when she gets back to her home.
