Trying to keep my ducks in a row but they have their own plans.

Napier, Hawke's Bay

Cutting a long story short. My husband and I work hard to support our family ( 2 toddlers). I have my own little business that I work 6 days a week, he works full time and more but no matter how hard we work we just can’t seem to catch a brake. To the point where we had to admit defeat after having to leave our rental we had been in for 7 years trying to make ends meet but we could no longer afford the payment due to the constant increase in rent and no way to afford the bond payments for a new place. So we now live in a caravan and just when we thought we can make this work, we get hit by a cyclone! ( I mean come on give me brake), our caravan takes damage and I’m not able to work for awhile due to the kids not been able to go back to school. We have no family in Nz to ask for help for anything. The cost of everything keeps going up and then we get told that my husband who is doing an apprenticeship has to go for his final exam in 2 weeks and has to travel 8 hours to get there ( that we now have to pay for, long story there too), so here I am asking for help in the hopes that we can get him there and get his accommodation, food and petrol sorted so he can qualify and we can finally get somewhere and hope we get enough to help us through the rough times in general. Thank you.

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.
