Editor,

I am a resident of Christchurch, New Zealand. I was fortunate to only lose a few breakables, but nothing as serious as some of my fellow citizens.

I was overwhelmed to read in our local paper (Press) of your amazing generosity to my lovely city, and wish to say as a solo citizen, thank you, thank you. God bless you all for your compassion and generosity.
