A Plea for Support in achieving my Aviation Dream

Christchurch, Canterbury

I am reaching out to you today with a heartfelt request for support in achieving a lifelong dream. I am looking to raise 48,200 NZD to fund my PPL & shortfall in my Diploma of Aviation. These funds are essential to pay for fees and training while minimizing the financial impact on my wife and son.

My passion for aviation began in my childhood, sparked by countless hours spent on MFS. The thrill of piloting virtual aircraft ignited a fascination with flying and nurtured a dream of becoming a real pilot. My grandfather, an aircraft mechanic for the RAF, inspired me with his stories and our shared interest in model making. His experiences instilled in me a deep love for aviation and a determination to pursue this interest.

Over the years, my passion for flying has only grown stronger. My first introductory flight at Wigram and the experience of controlling an aircraft, feeling the freedom and exhilaration of flight, has stayed with me ever since. Unfortunately, financial constraints hindered my initial attempts to pursue my PPL, confining me to flight simulators and model making.

I am deeply grateful for any support you can provide, whether it's a donation or simply sharing this campaign with others. Every little bit helps and brings me one step closer to achieving my dream of becoming a pilot. Your support will enable me to pursue a career in aviation, opening doors to opportunities that were once out of reach.

Use of funds

The funds raised will be used exclusively for my training and fees. This support will allow me to:

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.
