Beau Bears farewell and Zekes recovery

Bringing Beau Bear home, and healing Zeke.

Waikato

29th March 2026 was like any other normal day. Beau and Zeke enjoyed their day running around together and playing. That night as I (their mama) went to feed them, Beau Bear did not come when called - which was odd, he always came running when it was dinner time. I noticed that the garage door was shut, and thought of course he's shut himself in there again, so went to let him out. Unfortunately when I opened the door, our beautiful boy was no longer with us. He was only 8, and this was very unexpected. He was healthy and full of life. As this was unexpected, and the current economy crisis we are facing, we are struggling to get the funds together to pay for his cremation- the cheapest one we could get at $415.00.

The following day, his brother Zeke injured his leg. The outcome from the vet visit is that he has torn his medial cruciate ligament in his back leg. This is costing us approximately $2000, and he will be on crate rest for approx. 6 weeks.

We are doing everything we can to pull the funds together, but hoping we can raise a little to help.

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.
