Greg is the most likeable guy you could ever meet. He cherishes all of his friends and family. Unfortunately the short future that Greg, Elicia and their adorable 4 year old son Lucas have left together as a loving young family is not going to be easy to say the least. On 6 December 2016 they discovered that Greg has a rare Brain Tumor. After his biopsy he has had life changing side effects. Then on 20th January 2017 they got the news no one wants to hear. The surgeon said, go and get your affairs in order and do what ever special and meaningful things that you want to do, and don't muck around...

Help make their dream of getting married after 12 years together a reality. Also to support the family as Greg can no longer work meaning that soon Elicia's part time job is all the income they will have until the time comes she may have to take leave to care for Greg full time.

Use of funds

Funds raised will be used for a wedding and to create some special family memories. Renovations to the shed is also a high priority as a sleep out is to be build to be rented out to help pay for the mortgage so Gregs family can be secure in their first home that they purchased only 1 year ago.

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.
