Help the Richter family to to attend their father/grandpa's funeral in South Africa

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Martiens, Tanya and their two children have emigrated from South Africa to New Zealand in May 2016. Martiens' father has been murdered on his farm in South Africa and his mum brutally assaulted. The family desperately want to attend the funeral and also be there for Martiens' mum during this heart-breaking ordeal. As we all know, it is so expensive, approximately $4,000 a flight ticket and we would love to assist the whole family financially to go back. Every little will help.

Thanks so much!  25 September 2022

We stand on the farm for the last time and our hearts overflow with gratitude. Without your contributions, we would not have been able to say goodbye to our father and grandfather here on African soil, where he loved farming so much. Your contribution made the impossible possible and we can't thank you enough. May the Lord richly bless you for your selflessness. Love, Marthinus, Tanya, MG and Talina

Ons staan vir oulaas op die plaas en ons harte loop oor van dankbaarheid. Sonder julle bydraes sou ons nie ons pa en oupa kon groet hier op Afrika grond waar hy so lief was vir boer nie. Jul bydrae het die onmoontlike moontlik gemaak en ons kan nie genoeg dankie sê daarvoor nie. Mag die Here julle ryklik seën vir julle onbaatsugtigheid. Liefdegroete, Marthinus, Tanya, MG en Talina

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.
