One month shy of 11 years ago, my husband and I stepped off an airplane in Christchurch, New Zealand and embraced a new city, a new country, a new people and a new life.
The iconic Christ Church Cathedral – 2000
On Tuesday, 22 February, a devastating earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand. This is New Zealand’s second-largest city and the quake struck at lunchtime, when the city center was full of workers, shoppers and tourists.

As a former resident of Christchurch my heart is broken to see the devastation in the city. I feel for the families who have lost a loved one, as well as for those faced with the monumental task of getting the city back on its feet and rebuilt. Tuesday’s disaster was the worst in a series of quakes and aftershocks to hit Christrchurch since 4 Septemeber last year.
In an effort to help, I have set up an alt, GardenCityRelief Resident, to which you are welcome to donate and will be donating 100% of all sales of Puarangi Designs products until 31 March to the New Zealand Red Cross. If you are uncomfortable with donating through an alt avatar, there are other ways in which you are welcome to help. Check out the following blogs/web sites for more information:
