Help to send my friends mum back to Buenos Aires

Auckland

My friend Lorena is in need of some help to buy a commercial ticket to send her mum back to Buenos Aires. I have used my staff travel benefits to bring her to New Zealand, but due to the war in middle east, there are zero to none chance of her mum to fly back on standby. The price of a commercial ticket is too expensive for a last minute purchase and I am setting this page up to raise the complement amount to buy a return ticket to Argentina.

Mum's visa expires on the 20th of March and she is trying to leave NZ since the 2nd of March.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am helping a friend to send her mum back home. I am close to her and offered my staff travel benefit, but due to current circumstances her chances to fly back home on standby are very slim.

Use of funds

As today search, a flight to Buenos Aires, with China Eastern is NZ$ 1,775. The goal is to fundraise the shortfall of NZ$ 1,000.00

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.
