Supporting Fiona after a devastating house fire left her lifelong home unliveable and facing unexpected costs not covered by insurance.

Browns Bay, Auckland

For over 35 years, Fiona has called her house home. Since purchasing it in 1990, it has been a place filled with memories, comfort, and the life she carefully built over decades.

Tragically, a recent fire has left Fiona’s home severely damaged by fire and smoke, making it unliveable. In an instant, she lost not only her home, but the sense of security and normality that comes with it.

While Fiona does have insurance, unfortunately it does not cover everything needed to rebuild her life and replace essential belongings lost or damaged in the fire. The unexpected costs are overwhelming, and this is where we hope the community can help.

We are raising funds to support Fiona as she works to get back on her feet during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will go towards immediate living expenses, replacing necessities, and helping cover the many costs that insurance won’t.

Any support, big or small, would mean the world to Fiona. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would also be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.

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.
