To help with funeral and associated costs.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Karen passed away unexpectedly at the age of 43 leaving family and friends devastated.

Starting this give a little page will help contribute to the costs associated with her funeral and burial. Karen leaves behind a young daughter, Jade, and as our way of assisting her in this horrible time we thought donations would help.

Karen Ellett touched the hearts of many wherever she went as she was avidly involved in the glass community, hospitality and theatre making many firm friends along the way.

Katie Brown's involvement (page creator)

I am helping organise the funeral and want to let family and friends help financially on all of the costs. Hopefully gift Jade her daughter with some money for her future.

Use of funds

Funeral expenses such as catering, casket, flowers and funeral home costs and to start a small fund for her daughter.

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.
