Katie wants to become a New Zealander and live with her husband Dylan

$1,290 donated
Given by 15 generous donors in 19 days

Help Katie Parker raise the funds she needs to complete the hugely expensive process of becoming a Kiwi.

Canterbury

Katy and Dylan meet online and share a deep interest in growing all they need to live together on a piece of land with others. Katie left her close family and friends from her Mid West small town and came here only knowing Dylan. They were as happy as they expected and got married a few years later back in the US and then returned to make a life here. However, the NZ authorities did not make it easy. Katie couldn't work here and Dylan was on a students allowance. There was a huge amount of money required such as $500 for a medical and fees for visas that they found hard to raise. Katie now has a short visa that will need to renewed soon(and paid for) but Dylan's allowance runs out soon. So I am asking all those peole who think that these two are meant to be together and are willing to pay a small amount to make that happen

I've known Katie and Dylan for a year during which they have helped me with my garden and I admire them very much. I think that it is very unfair that these two young people are struggling to stay together with very little money while an old rich person can buy their way into NZ with masses of money. I know there are many people who agree and who want to help

Katy was unsure if she was willing to do this Givealittle thing because she is a very independent girl but she let me go ahead. I rang her last night and she was so excited and thrilled that people had responded so quickly and so generously. As I say,it's not all about the money.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
