Help a Single Mother Rebuild Life With Her Two Children After Being Left With Only $150

$50 donated
Given by 1 generous donor in 15 days

Single mother of two, left with only $150 and a mattress after hardship, now rebuilding life and seeking help for her children’s survival.

Auckland

I am a single mother of two children — my 11-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son.

We moved to Auckland after being invited by my then-husband, who is a permanent resident. I held a work visa and worked as a Caregiver, often taking double shifts to support my children.

After he left us, I was left alone with no support system. I was left with only about $150 and very limited resources while caring for my children.

From that point, I became the sole provider for my children. We went through hardship, emotional and physical challenges, and long uncertainty.

We had to move multiple times with very limited resources, often carrying only what we could manage. At one point, we were left with almost nothing, only a mattress.

Despite everything, I continued working for my children. We faced difficulties with schooling, and support due to residency limits and were often not eligible for help.

Eventually, my work visa expired in January, and we had to return overseas. I came back with debt and no stable income. We are still waiting for updates on our immigration appeal.

I am now rebuilding our lives from nothing. I am reaching out as a mother doing everything I can for my children. This is about survival, stability, and a fresh start.

I am humbly asking for any support. Any help will go toward basic needs, schooling, and stability for my children.

I will not share my children’s faces for their safety, but I can provide documents if needed.

Thank you for your kindness.

Use of funds

Funds will be used for housing, basic daily needs, school expenses for my children, debt repayment, and rebuilding our lives as we start over after years of hardship and being left to raise my children alone.

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.
