Make university accessible for a former refugee

  • Minimum goal reached!

      21 March 2019

    Where do I start - in 24 hours this page reached the minimum we need to cover the childcare fees for Leila's children for the first few months of her course.

    When I told Leila this, she said, "People are doing this all for me? New Zealanders are the kindest people I've ever met."

    I told her that everyone wants her to have the same opportunities for education as they did. And then we both cried a lot.

    So thank you all for all your generosity, it has truly blown us away. There are still many hurdles and costs for Leila on this journey, but because of you all, she can start her course knowing that her children are happy and safe.

    Arohanui, Hilary and Leila xxx

  • We are so grateful! Please share.

    We are speechless! Thank you, everyone, for your amazing generosity.

    When I mentioned how much people were donating, my student didn't believe me - and when she realised it was true she cried. She says New Zealanders are the kindest people she's ever met.

    The minimum goal is $3000, so we would appreciate so much if you could share this page with anyone else who may be able to help. Our goal now feels possible, thanks to you xx

  • How the fees are paid

      16 March 2019

    I will be transferring the money for fees directly to the childcare facility so that my student doesn’t have to be worried about dealing with invoices.

    I am happy to post screenshots of these bank transfers if anyone would like to see these 🙂
