My grandmother’s treatment

Auckland

My grandmother is currently fighting colon cancer and began her first chemotherapy session on December 30, 2025. She still needs five more sessions to continue her treatment. Unfortunately, the medication she urgently requires—Panitumumab—is not available at the hospital where she is currently admitted. Because her cancer has already metastasized to other parts of her body, this medication is essential to her care.

As a result, our family in the Philippines has been forced to search for a private supplier and cover the cost ourselves. Access to healthcare in the Philippines remains limited, and life-saving treatments like this are often unaffordable for many families. We are reaching out for support to help ensure that my grandmother can continue her chemotherapy and receive the treatment she desperately needs.

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.
