Please help us raise money so we can have our wedding before we lose my Dad and my fiancé’s Mum to cancer.

Waikato

In the last two weeks we have found out that both My father and my Mother In-law are suffering from aggressive cancers.

We have only been given 6-8 months with my mother in-law and there are no treatment options for her cancer.

My fathers health is rapidly declining and we are waiting to find out a more clear prognosis for him.

Both our parents are only in their 60’s.

We have been engaged for just over a year, originally planning to get married in late 2022. This time line has now been brought forward so that we can celebrate and create these precious memories before our family changes permanently.

We would like to have a small wedding, with only 50 guests, but we have two young children (1 & 4) and only one income so we haven’t been able to start our savings for the wedding we want to have.

Can anyone help us to raise up to 10k so that we can still have ‘our’ wedding, even though it’s going to be a whirlwind to organise and put together before we have more health complications...?

Use of funds

We will use this fund to finance our wedding at short notice. We have 90 days to plan and pull it off.

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.
