Raising money for a retainer to pay a lawyer for an abuse in care claim.

Auckland

I was removed from my family care at young age,

I was separated from my twin, prevented from seeing my family and moved from home to home. Instead of the government agency, I was placed in a very religious foster organisation.

Eventually I was given back to my family but home was not safe. Government child services then were involved and I was moved again.

I was place in a home that was very unsafe for me in many ways and left me receiving treatment for severe ptsd under sensitive claims.

I went to the government for help but was instead made homeless at 16 and forced to drop out of school with no future and no support.

Use of funds

towards Lawyers fees to engage them to make an abuse in care claim as I was told I should from the royal enquiry into abuse in care.

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.
