Donations for big Cals cancer journey and treatments

Patumahoe, Auckland

Our brother Cal was recently diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer. As a family, we are determined to explore every possible option and support him through this incredibly challenging journey.

Cal has a huge battle ahead, but he is facing it with strength, courage, and determination. On top of chemotherapy and medical treatment, he has continued running two businesses, which adds enormous pressure during an already difficult time.

Anyone who knows Cal and Brooke knows they are the type to always support others and stand on their own two feet. But now, given the circumstances and the significant costs involved, it’s time to reach out to the community for help.

We've set an initial goal of $50,000 to help cover Cals treatments and support his family, but every dollar counts and brings us closer to helping him focus on healing. Every donation, share, and message of encouragement means more than words can express. Your support will help ease financial pressure so Cal can focus on his health, his healing, and his wonderful family—Brooke and their three children—who are standing strong beside him.

For clarity to meet give little terms - Donation goes toward of a private liver transplant in the future . Funds to assist Brooke Cal and their family, as Cal is unable to run the businesses to the degree he was. (Loss of income). Brooke and Cal are still looking into alternative treatments (Alongside chemo).

Any changes to fund use will be updated.

Use of funds

Funds will go toward unfunded alternative cancer treatments and financial support for the family, such as living costs, as Cal is unable to run the businesses to the degree he was. At this stage, we are still determining exactly which unfunded treatments will be pursued, but we will post an update as soon as these are confirmed.

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.
