Kerikeri Village

Pillowcase Fundraiser

We invited the public to buy a pillowcase and decorate it and then we auctioned off the results to raise funds for new alternating mattresses for the Care Facility. The alternating mattresses have small pockets of air which inflate and deflate intermittently to alter the person's body position which prevents bedsores. They are amazing but cost $3,000 each. Thanks to around 60 talented locals and the generous folks who bought them, our frail elderly are now enjoying a better and more comfortable sleep.
