Just a typical honest hard working kiwi man who's health has put him on the back foot

Blenheim, Marlborough

Is very hard for me to ask anyone for help but I really dont have any choice and as a person who has helped others I just honestly thought im a deserving candidate to also swallow my pride and this to me is just the kiwi way and you just never know when your world can turn upside down,it was one thing to survive a brain tumor late last year and that ate away any savings I had,but now to start the year with bowel surgery and to also get an infection it really has put me in financial strife,im not asking for much that is entirely up to the person and as I said its not something I thought id ever have to do but now I have no choice and if I had my way I would work 7days to not be in this predicament,thank you for your time,sincerely Brendan Ennis

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.
