Help King Home Boy raise money for a new speaker and get back on his feet

Wellington

Hey everyone.

As some of you know, lately I've had quite a run of annoying bad luck. I think some of you know about the challenges I'm having with the changes to Cuba Mall and the benefits system. I've tried to suffer in silence and keep my chin up, but it's not easy.

The main thing that's holding me back is that my speaker was either lost or stolen when I accidentally left it in the trunk of a taxi while rushing back home to celebrate my Dad's 74th birthday. When I lost my speaker I lost my source of income.

I'm trying to stay positive. I don't want my family to to see their uncle, younger brother, son, Koro be under the weather or under so much unnecessary stress. I'm working on my health - physical and mental - I'm hanging in there. But really, what I need to do is get back to what I love, what keeps me real, keeps a smile on my face, and my source of income.

So, I've set up this giveallttle page hoping you can help me find enough money to replace my speaker, and help me turn things around. All the money raised here will go to getting me back out onto the streets of Wellington, entertaining you - the beautiful people of our little city.

Thank you for everything and much love.

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.
