Fundraising to bring Benny home

Auckland

Sadly on the 9th of September our beautiful Ben has suddenly passed away. I would like to alleviate some of the financial burden of bringing him back to New Zealand for his parents and I know there are so many out there that love him, our family and would like to help. It is truely appreciated whatever support you can help with. Even just a few dollars everything helps.

The family will update when there are more details regarding the funeral in New Zealand

we are waiting for the coroner to release his body back to funeral home at which point flights will be booked, he will be prepared to be brought home. As soon as flights are booked we will know the funeral date and be able to let you all know. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity during this time. It is greatly appreciated, lots of love to all.

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.
