Fundraising for winter coats for dogs in need

Ngaruawahia, Waikato

At the start of winter 2021 I read a story of a local dog who passed away on a freezing cold night. As a dog lover it broke my heart. I started to collect old fleece blankets from friends to sew into dog coats with the idea to donate to dogs who needed them. The idea quickly grew into donations of $ from people as well as blankets. With the $ raised and some connections made through friends a fantastic pet store allowed me to buy coats with a huge reduction in cost and I was able to donate around 100 coats to kuri in need. Our local Community House took on the task of distributing the coats. This year 2022 it would be great to be able to do it again and maybe take things a little bigger

Coats delivered to the Community House 24 May 2022

Yesterday over 100 kuri coats were taken to the Ngaruawahia Community House for them to start distributing to dogs in need of warmth this winter. The ladies there said since the Good Sorts TV clip went out on Sunday they have had phone call after phone call from all over Waikato enquiring about a coat for outside dogs.

Thank you for helping this happen with your donation.

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.
