Help baby Declans long journey ahead

Levin, Manawatu-Wanganui

Baby Declan is 16 weeks old and has just been diagnosed with a choroid plexus papilloma, so a tumor in the centre of his brain. Declan is getting transferred to starship hospital for brain surgery.

I have set this up for help of travel costs, and what ever extra costs that arise during this time to take the burden of his parents.

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.
