Please help save my home 🏡

Otago

I moved back to New Zealand with my four daughters, within two years I started a small security business, then I bought my first home two years after that. I had the contracts to guard the cruise , log, LPG, oil, scrap, fertilizer, and explosive supply ships at Port Chalmers and Dunedin Bulk wharves. In 2023 my company lost the contracts and I had to shut down the company. Since then I found out that the person responsible for my tax accounts didn't pay the company taxes and I owe over $87,000 to the IRD. Since 2024 I've struggled to pay my mortgage, insurance, rates and all other weekly bills, some fortnights i can't afford to buy food, so I eat just bread or rice. I got behind on my rates and the City Council sent the charges to the bank who I have my mortgage with, that bank has given me till the 28th of May to pay what I owe or they're going to take my home from me. I'm not asking to help pay the company owed taxes. I only ask that you help me save my home. Please help me. Any funds I receive will go towards paying my personal home mortgage, and any outstanding Council rates. This is a personal mortgage not for a business. Please help 🙏 😢

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.
