Helping Jennie the way she has helped others.

Westport, West Coast

Hey everyone, as some of you know Jennie was sick for over 2 years. She finally got seen to when it was almost too late. My mum struggled alone, as she got told her symptoms were all in her head. Jennie had to have an emergency appendectomy and bowel resection, leaving her with a stoma bag. Jennie will need further surgery because of this condition. My mum was by my side with me at the birth of my child while caring for my other child the day of her release by negligent doctors. Jennies appendix was enlarged on the scans but she was dismissed and told it was nothing. This strong women helped everyone while no one helped her, I'm hoping our kind community could help Jennie the way she has helped others.

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.
