Staying strong

Auckland

Hello everyone, my name is Mellissa.

I am a self employed business owner struggling more then ever right now to make ends meet.

I have a amazing husband who mentally hasn't coped well with work and the loss of his beautiful mum, so I am supporting us both and our 2x dogs.

My little family is everything to me ❤️

I have personally been through so much in the last 4 years with 5x miscarriages, 3x beloved Pets passing away and my Dad struggling with stage 4 stomach cancer...

Being self employed has been difficult in the last few years with having to have time off unplanned meaning I have not had any time off since Covid. Covid forced all savings I had left to be completely diminished.

I work very hard with a smile, being a mobile dog groomer it brings me absolute pleasure to bring happiness to dogs and their owners, we were doing great until so many unfortunate events have happened.

The impact it has had on me mentally, emotionally and physically has been overwhelming, bills and cost of living has added a extra blow. I would love to have some debt eased and to actually have a well deserved little break to visit my dad and mum who have been through so much. That would be a absolute dream! Thank you so much for your time and I hope you can hear my cry for help through my words.

God bless.

Use of funds

100% on easing debt and finding a opportunity to visit my amazing parents who live 7 hours away.

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.
