Help us raise funds towards a service dog for Leasie

Canterbury

Leasie is my closest cousin, and a bubbly 17 year old high school girl. Around 2 years ago she fainted with no warning whatsoever, and since that day the fainting has become a regular occurrence at least once a week. As there is no warning, she wakes up with horrific injuries to her face, head, and other parts of her body from hitting the floor, or whatever is in the way. We have found no medical explanation. She is unable to drive because of this, and must work sitting down.

The funds raised will go towards a specially trained service dog who will aid in pre warning her of these faints, and keep her safe in public when she goes down. All contributions big or small are appreciated, help this amazing girl live her life safely again.

Use of funds

The money raised will be used towards a service dog trained to warn Leasie, and keep her safe

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.
