Let's help Aunty Janice get her new hip

$9,250 of $28,500 goal
Given by 18 generous donors in 7 weeks

Aunty Janice needs our help to regain her quality of life with a hip replacement operation.

Waikato

Aunty Janice has always gone out of her way to help other people, whether it's hosting a birthday party, cooking breakfast the day after a wedding, prepping food when we're sending off a loved one, donating her time to the St. John Ambulance or helping her family with home renovations, raising the kids & their business ventures.

Aunty Janice is the one we can all rely on to be there when anyone needs her. But right now, our public health service is not there to support her. You may or may not be aware that Janice is in a lot of pain and has been for a very long time and is in desperate need of a hip replacement. Her quality of life has severely diminished and even sitting to enjoy a meal with her loved ones is very uncomfortable for her. But she soldiers on, and on and on.........

Abbey & Ashton are getting married next year and you can just imagine how excited Janice will be about this - she'll be the ultimate wedding planner and will no doubt be Abbey's wingman leading up to and enjoying this celebration. Brooke & Dan have a busy wee household with plenty of grandkids to keep Aunty Janice busy and we all know she'd love to have the energy to keep up with her busy grandkids.

Let's help Aunty Janice get her quality of life back by raising enough money to cover the cost of her hip replacement operation privately. The cost of the operation is between $22,400 & $27,300. I have set the goal to $28,500 to account for the Give a Little fees that are deducted, and I have kicked off the fundraising with a donation of $1,000.00.

Dwayne Cocker's involvement (page creator)

Aunty Janice desperately needs a hip operation & the public system is unable to help at this time. We need to raise funds to help her cover the cost of having the operation done privately.

Use of funds

The funds will be used to pay for a hip replacement operation. Surplus funds will be gifted to Aunty Janice to enjoy a nice recovery holiday. If the public health service pulls through and funds the operation the funds will be refunded to the donors.

Incrediably humbled  1 December 2020

Posted by: Janice Palmer

I have struggled to accept all of the kind and very generous donations that all of my beautiful family and friends have made to this page. It took me a few days to allow the concept to "sit right" with me as everyone's money is hard earned so the thought of my loved ones parting with it for me has been very humbling. I have recently changed doctors and she has requested an urgent review as she was horrified that they have continued to decline my surgery. Hopefully something will come from this request and the public system will accept me for surgery, but to have this help for a plan "B" is awesome. Watch this space !!!!

Love to you all and thank you so very much xxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.
