Annie’s family needs help to help support her in her recovery

Kaikoura, Canterbury

Over the weekend of the 15th - 17th of September Kaikoura Suburban School’s awesome office lady Annie O’Brien fell seriously ill and was hospitalised with sepsis and double pneumonia.

Annie has been placed on a ventilator and into an induced coma in Christchurch’s ICU unit where she still currently remains.

Annie is a fighter and is deemed to be in a stable yet critical condition, when she is not at work being our awesome office lady she is primary caregiver to her grandson Ryka.

Annie’s son Nathan is caring for Ryka full time while Annie recovers which also means his work has to decrease.

Please help support this family to cover costs that enable them to support Annie and survive while doing so.

Times are tough but every little bit helps

Thanks so much for your support.

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.
