Help Us Rebuild Our Lives: A Journey Back to New Zealand

Help us return to New Zealand for a fresh start- giving my children stability and my husband a real chance at recovery.

Nationwide

Life has taken my family on an unexpected journey, filled with challenges we never saw coming. We moved to India when my firstborn was just 3 months old, planning a short stay. But soon after, my father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. We put our plans on hold to care for him. Then, COVID-19 locked us in place, preventing our return.

Years passed, and just as we thought things might improve, my husband fell into the depths of addiction. His battle has been heartbreaking, impacting not just him but our entire family. He recently went to rehab, but true recovery requires a stable, supportive environment—something we struggle to provide here.

New Zealand offers us a fresh start. A place where my children can grow up in security, my husband can heal, and I can rebuild our lives. But the cost of moving—flights, housing, and essentials—is overwhelming. I cannot do this alone. Total Estimated Amount Needed: NZ$50,000 (flights, housing, general financial aid)

I am reaching out to ask for your help. Any contribution, big or small, brings us closer to our dream of returning home. If you cannot donate, sharing our story means the world to us.

With your kindness, we can turn the page and start a new chapter—one of healing, stability, and hope.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Use of funds

Flights and travel expenses to New Zealand, housing expenses, medical, school expenses for my children, and basic living costs until I secure stable employment. If we do not reach our full goal, we will prioritize the most critical expenses to ensure we can still move and continue fundraising/seeking other financial assistance to cover remaining costs.

Every contribution will be used wisely to ensure we can make progress toward coming back to New Zealand, even if it takes longer than planned.

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.
