Stanmore Bay, Whangaparaoa

Hi there. Unfortunately I suffered a stroke after aneurysm clipping in October.Iam in my 5th month of rehab and have a bit more to go.

So frustrating waiting helplessly for government to decide if they eill support us. They gave us $180 then today some young lady is saying to me ‘we gave you $180. Use that for your bills. Water is $80. Groceries are so expensive waiting on another ‘independent medixal sdvisor ro decide if i should get paid weekly conoensation..

kia kaha Liz. You can do this. So frustrating today. Will stay focused on my rehab and @letthe rest go..

My sick leave is finished and I am now on leave without pay indefinitely . I am desperately trying to get help from the ministryof social development to cope but IT is a slow process fraught with roadblocks. No help at all yet. Waiting…

We are ok butstruggling to make ends emds meetbut I am pushing on with rehab one day at a time trying to get fit enough to go back to work teaching kids with special needs xx. I don’t like to ask for help but we need some:) if snyone can help. X

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.
