Help baby Riley and his mum

$220 donated
Given by 8 generous donors in around 3 months

Please help baby Riley and his family when he goes through surgery and the hard time afterwards.

Canterbury

Riley and his brother Lukie live with their Mummy Kourtney who had Riley premature at 31wks due to pre eclampsia. Riley suffered severe growth restriction, failure to thrive, a brain hemorrhage and he was also later diagnosed with schizencephaly, epilepsy and severe GERD. Rileys diagnoses means he has muscle tone issues and needs surgery to help with his reflux and he is also having his feeding tube changed from an NG to a peg as he will be tube fed long term. Rileys Mummy supports both children on her own by working at burger king but has unfortunately used all of her paid leave when she became ill and hospitalised at the end of her pregnancy. This means when Riley has his surgery soon she will have to take unpaid leave and also whenever Riley needs a day at home she has to take it as unpaid leave as well. This causes alot of stress financially for her.

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.
