Raising funds to help cover funeral expenses and to ease some of the financial pressure on the family as we grieve.

Invercargill, Southland

With shattered hearts, we share the sudden loss of our beloved 19-year-old son, brother and grandson Jake Goodwillie. He was full of life, deeply loved by his family and friends, and had so much future ahead of him. His passing has come completely unexpectedly, leaving us grieving and trying to navigate an unimaginable time.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral expenses and to ease some of the financial pressure on the family as we take time to mourn and honour his life. Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean so much to us. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers is also deeply appreciated. The family are applying for ACC, however, they are in need of immediate support.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and love during this heartbreaking 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.
