My best friend is confined in a hospital right now due to bacterial meningitis. His brain has been swelling and he is not able to talk.

My best friend Benjie, a father of 4 kids, was rushed into hospital two days ago due to bacterial meningitis. He was taking medicine for treating tuberculosis for several months. Unfortunately, he is in a serious condition right now with his brain swelling, not even being able to talk. He has been hospitalised and the doctors are still monitoring him because of his brain swelling. He has been in and out in the hospital and has depleted all of their savings. He and his family have always been facing unexpected personal costs that they can no longer manage on top of their medical bills. With lots of hope, I am writing this to seek your help for financial support for his ongoing hospital bills.

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.
