The earthquake in Christchurch was shocking and devastating.  I am fortunate enough to be tucked away safely in the upper North Island away from the disaster.  But being so far away brings with it a feeling of hopelessness.  Watching hours of News broadcasts in horror does not seem to be helping!  In support of Christchurch, my husband and I have listed our beach property in Northland on a few websites making it available for free accommodation for those wanting to get away from affected area.  We have also donated what we could afford via the law firm I work for, Webb Ross.  Yesterday the staff at Webb Ross wore red and black to work and gave generously.  I understand other firms in the Law Link group have done the same.
