A Little Help for a Grieving Family

$1,050 of $8,000 goal
Given by 13 generous donors in 25 days

Helping a family focus on healing by easing the financial strain of cremation and moving costs.

Gate Pa, Tauranga

Yesterday, my dear friend Arsha and her brother Caleb unexpectedly lost their beloved mum.

While she had ongoing health conditions, her death was sudden and has left everyone heartbroken and trying to process the loss.

Not only have Arsha and Caleb lost their mum, Arsha's two young boys have lost their Ganma who was their whole world. She was such a big part of their daily lives, and the space she leaves behind is impossible to put into words.

As the family begins navigating their grief, they are also facing the unexpected financial burden of cremation costs and the urgent need to clear out her rental home.

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.
