Help us bring Adriaan's parents from Zambia for his final farewell

  • Update on funds raised and how they were used

      25 September 2023

    Hi Everyone

    I wanted to give a detailed summary of how much was raised, and how the money was spent.

    Summary:

    This page raised $4,595, which after fees = $4,367.75 (GiveaLittle charges 5%)

    In addition, 3 people donated directly $4,000 (one x $3,000 from 2 people, and one x $1,000 from another).

    So the total raised was $8,367.75

    Total costs were $9,984.76

    The costs were mainly flights (over $8,000), getting NZ visas (just under $300). Other misc costs included a local SIM card, and any direct costs while they were here (food etc).

    Accomodation was all provided for no cost, as was transport and day to day items.

    The shortfall of $1,617.01 was paid for by me (ie my personal contribution).

    Thanks again for all donations, it really helped.

    I am in regular contact with both At and Joey who wish to send on their thanks to everyone who contributed to this page, and gave donations directly.

    Thanks everyone for your donations to date.

    Adriaan's parents are due to leave New Zealand tomorrow (Thur 17) morning, and through your generosity, have not had to pay a cent towards their travel costs or costs while here.

    I've made a personal commitment to make up any shortfall so that they do not have to pay anything towards this, nor will Adriaan's estate be asked to pay.

    They return to Zambia knowing Adriaan was much loved, and touched the hearts and minds of so many people, and left the world a better place as a result.

    Safe travels At and Joey!
