My youngest aunt had been going through cancer treatment after being diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer in 2013. During the past month or so she spent two weeks at the North Shore Hospital in Auckland because her health had deteriorated. The seriousness of her condition had been a struggle to accept for those of us that knew and love her. Her passing is still in the early days, and it is still to fully register even with myself. Her memory will be a testament to the resilience and perseverance constantly displayed by my family, and is something which will endure the test of time for an eternity.

Thomas Gilbert-Martin's involvement (page creator)

I'm involved because I knew how compassionate, sincere and sensitive my dear family member was towards people who are of ill health, even though she herself was fighting for her own life. Sadly, my aunt died the morning of Wednesday 18th February 2015 at the St Margaret's Hospice in Te Atatu. We shall, however, maintain fortitude and unity amongst each other in the hopes that we will somehow overcome this most heartbreaking loss, and in turn do her "never back down" attitude the greatest of justice.

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.
