Tony is currently fighting an aggressive Brain Tumour, let's help Tony and his family make as many memories as they can together.

Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

Tony Hermansen, one of the most respected and well-loved Orderlies in Palmerston North Hospital.

He is well known to all hospital staff and everywhere he goes his larger-than-life personality and sense of humour precedes him. He is the first to jump in to help and lend a hand wherever he is in the hospital and now it's our turn to help.

Tony has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive Brain Tumour. While determined to fight, Tony will remain off work for some time while receiving treatment.

Together with his wife Suzie, Tony is determined to make as many memories for his young daughter as he can and while he is able.

If you are able, please make a donation so that we may assist him.

Thank you.

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.
