Rebecca McNaught – despair not! Simply carpool a bunch of bargain hunters and head to the Tweed Palliative Support op shop in Murwulillumbah, run by feisty 85-year-old Edna Gorton OAM.
Most of our clothing is only one dollar (that’s right, one dollar). And we have furniture, electrical, books, household and garage stuff, way cheaper than the op shops of Byron, whose fat-cat church-run operators collect millions in government funding. TPS receives no help from government funding whatsoever, and all monies raised go directly to running the palliative support of Wedgetail Hospice which is provided absolutely free of charge to the sick and dying, and their carers. That said, you shouldn’t desert Global Ripple. They do a champion job.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
