I'm on a mission to raise funds for Hospice to purchase a longer medical bed to better serve tall people!

Christchurch, Canterbury

My partner, Neil, received end of life care at the Nurse Maude Hospice, Christchurch. One of the biggest challenges was that his bed was not really long enough to accommodate someone over six foot tall. I'm on a mission to raise funds for Hospice to purchase a longer bed to better serve tall people!

Nurse Maude Hospice provided amazing end of life care to my partner and I want to give back.

We raised $5000 to 'Lighten the Load' for Hospice!!! 5 May 2024

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!

48 generous donations from all over the world now means that Nurse Maude Hospice, Christchurch will be able to purchase a long(er) medical bed to better serve end of life care for tall people...

One year ago, I set up this Give A Little page to raise funds for the medical bed and I was inspired by my ambitious friend to climb Ben Nevis in the UK. It was a worthy challenge physically and mentally especially after scattering Neil's ashes the previous day. But we got there... one foot in front of the other...

I met with Kelly and Cheryl at Nurse Maude Hospice recently. They were extremely thankful for the donation and are planning to publish an article highlighting my fundraising efforts in their upcoming newsletter

I have been blessed with fabulous family and friends who have supported me through the ups and downs... I'm so very grateful xxx

T H A N K Y O U E V E R Y O N E !!!

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.
