Help baby Jules and his family in hospital

$13,927 of $15,000 goal
Given by 200 generous donors since yesterday

Please help the Forsdyke family with financial pressures while their 10 month son is in hospital in Auckland.

Mangere, Auckland

Earlier this month, the Forsdyke family’s lives were turned upside down when their gorgeous 10-month-old, Jules, was involved in an accident with a hot drink, resulting in serious burns to his face, neck, and chest. Originally at Hutt Hospital, Jules was flown to Starship hospital due to an infection. He has had to undergo multiple procedures, and is undergoing skin grafts in the coming weeks at Middlemore Hospital before continuing treatment at Hutt Hospital. As they live in the Wellington region, Elena, Luke, and big brother Otto have relocated to Auckland to be by his side, and would love to be able to stay together during this time.

As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly traumatic time for the whole family, and they still have a long journey ahead.

Elena is a full-time mum and Luke is self-employed, so we have set up this page to help ease some of the financial pressure during this time. If you are in a position to help, Elena and Luke would be so grateful.

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.
