Financial support for Michael Fleck and Osher

Waiheke Island, Auckland

On Saturday 21st March Michael and Osher returned home from an outing to find their house completely destroyed by a fire. They basically lost everything apart from the clothes they were wearing. The home was uninsured.

The Waiheke community has come together to help support them with clothes and fund raising. However we need as much help as possible to support them through this incredibly challenging time.

I have known Michael for many years, he's one of the best networkers I know. One of the things that is dear to his heart is resilience, community and creating networks that bring people together. I've also known Osher for many years, her passion is healing and supporting people with their inner journeys.

This is our opportunity to be generous and give back to them.

Reborn from the Ashes

At a gathering of friends the symbol of The Phoenix came up, and fitted perfectly the journey forward. It represents rebirth, renewal, immortality, and resilience.

It symbolises the eternal cycle of life, death, and regeneration, often linked to the sun, spiritual transformation, and the triumph of life over adversity.

I have know them both for years, connecting with them in the world of resilience and healing.

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.
