Sponsorship from thE warehouse
Our 11 year old son, Joshua has been really keen on getting himself a waterproof watch for quite sometime. He talked about how it would be useful when we are sailing. As a family we are currently planning to sail to Fiji to volunteer our services after the devastation from cyclone Winston. I suggested he write to the local Warehouse store and ask the manager if he would sponsor him a watch. After a bit encouragement, Joshua sat down and wrote a letter outlining our sailing plans, what we have already achieved as a family, where we are from and why a waterproof watch would be really useful on our trip.
We all plucked up the courage and went together to our local Petone store and spoke to the manager . His response blew us away! After reading the letter from Joshua, he asked "is that all you want?" We were quite taken aback, half expecting the answer to be no. He invited us to come back another day and do a little shopping! His generousity astounded us! He was very kind to our three children and we are are all very grateful. The smiles reaching from ear to ear!
We would like to thank the manager Sam Baker for his kindness and generosity. All three children are making good use of their watches and are very proud to have been given them from the Warehouse. Thank you again Warehouse Petone.
