Whangarei, Northland

On Thursday, 16 April, Maria’s world was shattered when her beloved husband was tragically killed in a car accident. In a single moment, she lost her partner, her support, and the father of her four children.

Maria is now facing life as a widow in a foreign country, far from her wider family and support network. Alongside the overwhelming grief, she is carrying the heavy responsibility of caring for her children during an unimaginably difficult time.

One of Maria’s deepest wishes is to return her husband home to Zimbabwe so he can be laid to rest among his family, ancestors, and homeland. Unfortunately, the costs of repatriation are far beyond what Maria can manage on her own while navigating this sudden loss.

While ACC financial support may be available (if approved), this won't cover everything.

Any support given will help bring dignity, peace, and comfort to a family enduring profound heartbreak. Thank you for standing with Maria and her children during this 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.
