Simone and her little girl have been offered an opportunity of a lifetime, to travel abroad via cruise ship and reunite with their family to perform a last send off ceremony for her Mom who passed recently. Simone had not been able to attend her Mom's funeral due to financial constraints and largely due to a brain and spine injury which she is currently recovering from. The travel plans are tailor made to Simone's current health challenges so she will have a doctor on call and support to rehabilitate her current injuries. It also allows her the opportunity to rest daily and recover as her little girl will have care whilst travelling.

An absolute once in a lifetime opportunity for a wonderful woman and solo mom who gives so much love to her community and friends and who has not had a day of rest for the past 6 years nor any family around to assist her during her many challenges. We have decided to fund raise to ensure that this dream becomes a reality for these two precious souls and would be extremely grateful for anything that you could gift them with. The food and accommodation is covered, the funds raised would cover their travel expenses to return home, spending and rent whilst they're away.

Thank you for generously contributing to making Simone and her little girls dreams come true.

Simone and her little girl are good friends of mine whom I greatly support and love dearly.

Use of funds

The funds raised would cover their international travel costs, spending and rent whilst they're away. Should the target not be met, the funds would be used to pay towards a loan taken to be able to travel for this trip.

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.
