Help Kathleen navigate Nigel's sudden death

Funeral expenses and creating some breathing space for Kathleen.

Strathern, Invercargill

Sadly on Monday 13th July, Nigel passed away very suddenly. This has left Kathleen and their 3 children without a father. Unfortunately there was nothing set aside for a funeral let alone anything to help Kathleen and their children, Mr 21, Miss 18 and Master 12 have time and space to grieve without worrying about the every day bills.

Nigel was cremated today and a memorial service will happen later. Please if you can donate to help Kathleen so that a little pressure is relieved it would mean alot to myself and her other friends and whanau.

Progress so far  23 July 2026

Hi all

We have been blown away by everyone's support it is truly humbling. Things are moving slowly on. We should have a rough idea today or tomorrow when memorial service will be. The biggest thing at the moment is making sure Kathleen and the kids are doing okay with everything.

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.
