My sweet boy, Buddie, has always been the most handsome, loving, and loyal companion I could ever ask for. Recently, he suffered a sudden and devastating stroke that left him unable to move his back legs. Despite the medication and care provided by our veterinarian, his condition has not improved, and he is now struggling every day.

It breaks my heart to say the vet bills for his treatment have become overwhelming, and after exhausting every option, I’ve been told that the kindest thing for Buddie may be to let him go peacefully. I want to give him the dignity and comfort he deserves, including cremation so I can keep him close even after he’s gone.

I’m reaching out for help during this painful time. Any amount big or small would make a meaningful difference in covering his veterinary costs and the expenses for his final care. Buddie has given me so much love and joy over the years, and I want to honor him properly

Use of funds

Buddie’s veterinary bills, his medications, and the costs of gently and respectfully putting him to sleep and having him cremated.

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.
