Help Baby Carlo & his family

$560 donated
Given by 10 generous donors in around 6 months

Baby Carlo came into this world 12 hrs after Mum & Dad found out they were pregnant. Lets relieve some financial stress off this new family.

Nelson / Tasman

A visit to the Nelson Hospital with back and stomach pain turned into something absolutely amazing when Charlene was told she was 36 weeks pregnant, and not only that, she was in labour! 12 hours later Charlene & Eamon were holding precious little Carlo in their arms, the first addition to their family. As you can imagine this puts a lot of financial pressure on these new parents. Especially as they have until February to find a new house as their current home owner is selling up. Eamon is also a self-employed photographer with his own small business I.C.Photography, and had just started the process of saving up for a much needed PC / laptop. He is also undergoing a course in security to follow one of his passions. He has already put around $300 non-refundable into getting the process going, with around $500 left in costs to continue studying. Mainly though this page is set up to help with baby costs, all the things that they didn't have or even need a few days ago, are now at the top of the list. As you can imagine a family usually has 9 months to prepare for a new arrival, so there's a lot of stuff to get. So please, any little bit of generosity will help this new family. The more stress over finances we can take away, the more they can focus on baby Carlo.

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.
