My Gary is currently in ICU in Waikato hospital. He had an absess tooth that then became septic and the infection traveled to the rest of his organs. Its cause great damage to his lungs and kidneys and hes currently on life support. I'm traveling daily to see him and to be there for him. He's make small improvements daily, but anything can set him back and there is still a chance he won't make it.

Use of funds

These funds are to help with my travel costs and the ongoing living costs. I'm currently not working to be with Gary in this time, and of course, he's not working either.

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.
