Help Me With My Rural Vet Tech Training

Auckland

Hi, I'm Fiona. I'm a Farm Attendant at a well known organization in NZ. This year I'm starting to undertake study through Otago Polytechnic as a Rural Animal Technician. The skills I learn in this program will directly help with my role working with farm animals.

Because I'm working, I can only study part-time. There are costs that I need to cover for my study that StudyLink won't help with Because I'm studying part-time. I need equipment for working alongside rural vets and on farms, travel costs to my block courses out of Auckland, and textbooks to get me through my study.

There is a massive shortage of rural animal technicians in our country, as well as worldwide. I am hoping to be able to progress into rural veterinarian study in the future once I've completed my studies with Otago Polytechnic.

I'm not asking for much, just enough to help me get the equipment I need. Any help is appreciated greatly If my donation goal goes above $1500, all remaining proceeds will be donated directly to the organization I work for.

Use of funds

Work gear, student costs, textbooks, travel to my block courses in Dunedin, and medical equipment for my course.

Thank you!  9 February 2022

I didn't think I'd get such an amazing response. Thank you so much everyone who donated. I had my first w/e day on site with the rural vet I'm doing my practicum with, and it was absolutely fantastic. A bit gruesome, but fantastic. I'm look forward to progressing through this course, and without everyone's help I wouldn't have been able to do it. xxoo

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.
