Give a little page for my father and siblings who have lost our family home to a house fire

Whangarei, Northland

Kia ora everyone I'm starting this give a little page to help my father out. Last night at about 3am we lost our family home as it burnt to the ground he has no insurance only life and funeral insurance and they lost everything my father and siblings are very lucky to be here with us safe and sounds unfortunately they have lost everything right before christmas time and I thought I'd try make it abit easier for him and the kids. If you know my father he is the biggest hearted person I know always giving to people and helping everyone would literally give his shirt off his back even would give his last dollar if you needed it so please any koha would be greatly appreciated all funds will be going towards building a new whare for my father and siblings

Thank yous in advance

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.
