Kelly and Craig's Road to Recovery 💗

Palmerston, Otago

As you know Craig was hit by a logging truck, thankfully he is here to tell the story, sadly he has a very long road to recovery around 6 to 9 months, he has many many broken bones and undergoing surgery as we speak to put his broken body back together,

This is going to be a huge undertaking on Craig and Kelly financially traveling in and out of Dunedin, hospital stays, room stays and rehabilitation, so if you are in a position to help them out even $5 it will be so greatly appreciated, just to help take a bit of that burden away for them especially since they will be down an income source for some time. ACC will provide some support, but the costs will exceed the amount provided. Thank you.

Use of funds

Posted by: Kelly Clapperton

Craig is doing really well with his healing, still a long ways to go but 5 weeks in and we can see great improvements, he managed to stand yesterday, only on one leg but that's the first time since the accident. There is still concern around his smashed knee we will know more in time.

Craig and I are incredibly humbled by the offers of help, meals and generosity shown, we can never thank you all enough for everything. A HUGE 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.
