Support Michael throughout depression and psychosis. He’s a caring father who needs help to pay for medical bills and to support his family.

Auckland

My father, Michael, has been diagnosed with a severe depression and other mental health issues. His health condition is not expected to recover soon. He has been in and out of the hospital for the past two months and that trend continues as we speak. He has been off work and not bringing in any earnings, which is accumulating numerous bills. Apart from that, my father needs this assistance for what is most important, his family. My father and mother have been inseparable from day one and this is extremely hard on them both. The financial burden is only making this already difficult situation almost unbearable. They need support through this challenging time. For anyone who knows my parents, they know that they would give the clothes of their back to help those who need it. Now I am asking for a little something in return during their time of hardship.

Use of funds

The funds that are received will be for medical bills. All the visits, tests, medication, and other incidental fees will be paid for with the funds that you share. In addition, one of my father’s role in the family was to pay for most of the weekly and monthly bills such as food, electrical bills, and many more. The funds received will compensate for some of the things he paid for before.

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.
