A Heartfelt Plea for Help in Memory of My Beloved Dog

Help to say goodbye to Neo

Warkworth, Auckland

Dear Friends,

Today, I reach out with a heavy heart to share my story and ask for your support during a difficult time. Recently, I had to make the most painful decision as a pet owner: to say goodbye to my beloved dog, who was not just a pet, but a cherished member of my family for the past 15 years.

With all his love and joy, he brought light to my life during both happy and challenging moments. Unfortunately, when his health took a sudden turn for the worse, I had to prioritize his well-being above all else.

As someone who lives on a very limited income, I rarely have the means to save for emergencies. With no savings to fall back on, the veterinary bill from his final moments weighs heavily on my heart and mind, making an already painful situation even more overwhelming. Despite my financial limitations, I knew I had to put my dog's comfort first, even if it meant incurring a debt I cannot easily repay.

I write to you today to ask for your kindness and support. I’ve set up a fundraising campaign to help cover these unexpected expenses. Any contribution, no matter how small, would bring comfort to me during this difficult time, helping to ease the burden of the financial costs associated with my beloved dog's passing.

Thank you for taking the time to read my heartfelt plea. Your generosity and compassion would mean the world to me during this painful journey of saying goodbye to my furry best friend.

With all my gratitude,

Kirsten, Sierra and Echo

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.
