Final Update  11 October 2013

To all the wonderful donators to this cause. Thank you so much for your contribution to setting these special young girls on the path to a brighter future. I have the pleasure to announce there is an education trust set up via Public Trust called ""Brooke and Caitlin's givealittle trust"" which will be looked after by Public Trust. The money will be spent on providing for and furthering their education and supporting their growth through extra curricular activities such as sport, music etc. Brooke and Caitlin are the sole beneficiaries of this trust. Separately there has also been $1000 for each girl put aside with Flight Centre in their names for travel. I'm sure we can all agree they deserve a break after the past year's events. If you wish to donate further to their education, this can only be done via Public Trust using the trust name of Brooke and Caitlin's givealittle trust. If you have any further questions regarding the funds please contact public trusts on: 09 985 6860 Thank you all for donating to help them live their futures the way that Becs would have wanted them to. Both families are very happy with this outcome, and would like to thank you all for your kindness, love and support. And a special thanks to the team at givealittle who set up this amazing platform for people to do good, Public Trust who have waived their setup fees for the girls, and Flight Centre Dominion Rd for sorting out the travel funds. Rest In Peace Rebecca Todd. Your memory will live on through your girls and in our hearts.

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.

I knew Becky from our Lyall Bay Surf Club days and remember her as being a talented lifesaver and a real party animal. She was into everything and people loved being around her. My thoughts are with her family.
