A fundraiser to support Kim and the children she is caring for with essentials, transport, and daily stability after all she has endured

Christchurch, Canterbury

My whanau and I were a recipient of a $100 supermarket voucher when we really needed it—no questions asked, just kindness.

Now I’ve read her story and wanted to give something back. I wish I had taken time that day to ask her reasons and give her a hug.

She’s caring for her young son and three young children (ages 2, 3, 4, and 10) and doing everything she can to hold things together, but it’s been incredibly tough.

They have no vehicle after it was transferred out of her name and Police took the plates.

I’ve set up a Givealittle to help with essentials, transport, and basic stability for the kids.

If you can help or share, thank you 🤍

Let’s show her we heard her voice, and she’s not alone.

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.
