“Every $250 Means One Visit With My Daughter — Help Me See Her

$5 of $7,000 goal
Given by 1 generous donor in 17 days

“Raising funds to afford supervised visits with my daughter so I don’t lose the only time I’m allowed to see her.”

Hamilton Central, Hamilton

Every day I don’t see my daughter feels like a lifetime. She is my heart, my world, and the moments I get with her are the only time I can nurture our bond. Until recently, the court helped cover the cost of supervised visits, but that support has ended. With my very limited income, I cannot afford the visits on my own—and without help, I risk losing the only time I have with her.

Each visit costs $250. These visits are not just a fee—they are the moments I get to hold her, see her smile, and show her she is loved. Missing even one visit would mean losing precious time that can never be replaced.

I am trying to raise $7,000 to cover supervised visits over the next year. This will allow me to continue seeing my daughter regularly, remain an active part of her life, and maintain the bond that is so vital to both of us. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Even sharing this page helps me reach others who can support our connection.

Your support doesn’t just fund visits—it funds love, presence, and a mother’s right to be there for her child. $50 contributes toward part of a visit, $100 funds a significant portion, and $250 funds one full visit.

Being there for my daughter is the most important thing in the world. With your help, I can continue showing her she is loved, and never alone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, sharing, or donating. Every moment counts—and every contribution helps me stay in her life.

Use of funds

Every dollar raised goes directly toward supervised visit fees, ensuring I can spend precious time with my daughter

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.
