The woman in the van - not all homes look the same. Helping fund a van for a community member who lives in her van

Meadowbank, Auckland

A kind neighbour (Linda) has recently befriended Anne, the woman living in the van who has been mentioned in local community posts.

Her most immediate challenge right now is the condition of her van, which is causing her a lot of stress. We’re hoping to help her replace it with something safer and more reliable.

She is also trying to find more stable accommodation, but improving her vehicle situation feels like a practical first step. (Once sufficient funds are raised we have capacity and networks to help find her a van)

Use of funds

A roadworthy van. If our goal is not met, the funds will go towards grocery and petrol vouchers.

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.
