Replace and upgrade mums taxi.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Those who know me well, know I struggle to ask for help. Yet, here I am. Yikes!

Challenge for the new year, step outside my comfort zone. Tick that box.

My little family needs a vehicle upgrade. Desperately. Our car has served us well over the last 3 years, but she's seen better days and not suitable to accommodate growing children. She does not have an ever increasing waistline like me,lol. She does have aches and pains and is increasingly complaining,especially on colder days. A bit like me.

With a neurodiverse child, who needs their space, a 7 seater would be ideal,so this mama can drive in relative peace and quiet, without heated discussions about who is crossing which line on the seat. Between that and our old girl's squeaks and groans, driving can be very stressful.

Being a solo mum with a neurodiverse child who needs full time care, means working outside of the home, is extremely difficult. Technically, working full time, with no pay. (But gaining valuable experience for future use.)

This means, that unfortunately, I am not able to apply for full finance.

However, if we can raise enough for at least a sizeable deposit, that would make finance possible.

Our hope is to be able to replace the vehicle before the next WOF expires, so we have a deadline of 1 month.

We will leave the rest in God's hands.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and thank you to anyone and everyone who wants to help. It will mean there's one less thing for this mama to worry about.

Use of funds

A newer, more reliable vehicle for our family or any funds raised will help toward a deposit for a newer, bigger vehicle.

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.
