HAWERA: Hi, our names are Wiki and Wayne, we have 9 children and 2 grandchildren, however only 5 children remain in our care, one currently attending Inglewood High School and our 4 youngest currently attend Kaimata Primary School. Due to personal family reasons that had taken place here last year, we have had to re-locate to Taranaki from Havelock North, Hawkes Bay and we are now in a position to desperately seek our own 3-4 bdrm long-term rental accommodation, preferably with a carport or garage and adequate insulation and heating for those cold winter months. We have excellent references and we have a registered outside dog called 'Buddy' which we adopted 6 years ago to assist Wayne as he is now fully blind. Due to the sudden nature of our re-location, Wayne and I are currently on the Invalids Benefit as I was an employed Teacher Aide assisting with Special Needs and behavioural management for 5 years and it is the desire that I return to work as soon as we are able to settle in our home. Wayne and I both smoke cigarettes of which we have both indulged outside since the birth of all our children and our grandchildren. If there is any Landlord who can assist us in our somewhat desperate plight, we will all be eternally grateful. Contact Wiki or Wayne on 0297 712098 or email me. 30-11-12
