Help to bring this precious little dog to NZ for a better life.

Manawatu / Whanganui

After volunteering in Samoa with SPAW, I met and fell in love with a dear little dog that had no home, no parasite treatments or nobody to love him. After 3 trips to Samoa, several disappointments, many tears and a whole lot of money spent, I am almost ready to welcome my little man Mani into New Zealand.

You can read my full story on the SPAW website and if this little dog touches your heart as he has mine, feel free to donate to help me finalise his trip.

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.
