Help Children with Learning Disabilities

$215 of $1,500 goal

Given by 7 generous donors in 8 weeks

I want to do a course for a new way of helping children with learning disabilities, then donate my time to the school and children

Nationwide

http://www.nzfeuerstein.org. They have brought this program to New Zealand and I am wanting to do the course in october so I can help my daughter with her difficulties in learning and take it to her school where i will donate my time so I can help all the other children at her school with similar learning problems. This could help alot of children make learning easier for them. I am focusing on the 9 years plus at this stage as the difficulties in learning really start to show up here when schooling gets harder.

The lovely thing about this program is it is run not for profit and will cost the children's families of who wish their children to go through it only $35 a year this includes their resources.

I need to fundraise the cost of attending this course which is just over $1200, I also need to take a week off work unpaid to do this so would appreciate the extra few hundred dollars to cover some essentials like getting to the city over this time.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my ambition to help these children struggling in school.

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.
