Please help support Dejay and his family on his long road to recovery!

Otago

Those who know Dejay know the kind of man he is selfless, driven, and always putting others before himself. He’s the person who shows up, who helps without being asked, and who believes deeply in the future and the people around him.

Saturday 17 January, Dejay’s life changed in an instant. He was involved in a life-threatening accident rushed to Christchurch Hospital he underwent emergency brain surgery & placed into an induced coma. Nothing could have prepared his loved ones for this moment.

Dejay needs the same love and support that he has always given so freely to family, friends, colleagues & teammates. This is our moment to stand beside him.

This Givealittle page has been created by Dejay’s close friend Nathan, who wanted to do something meaningful to help carry the load during this incredibly difficult time. It comes from a place of deep friendship, care, and a genuine desire to support Dejay and his family.

Dejay faces a long and uncertain road to recovery. While his world has been forced to pause, the realities of everyday life have not. The mortgage, bills, and ongoing expenses continue, while he is unable to work. His family is doing everything they can to be by his side, this comes with enormous emotional & financial strain.

Any donation, no matter how small will help ease the burden & allow Dejay and his family to focus on what truly matters Dejay’s healing and recovery. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your love during this incredibly difficult time.

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.
