$8,455 donated
Given by 55 generous donors in one year

This Givealittle page has been established to financially assist Patrick through some tough times ahead

Auckland

Early in January 2024, Patrick received devastating news – a Stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Patrick has been valiantly fighting this cruel disease, and for most of 2024 has been on a clinical trial. That trial has ended, and Patrick is facing some serious health complications. He is now in a new battle to extend his life.

You might recognize Patrick as one of the talented musicians from The Brewster Brothers or BackTracks, the force behind those legendary Country & Western and Back to The 80’s Dance Parties at The Riverhead, raising in excess of $100k for Hospice over the years.

He may have assisted you with sourcing finance for your home or business purchase in his role as mortgage adviser for Loanmarket, or perhaps you've crossed paths with him through his >20 year involvement in BNI Waitakere City.

He has touched our lives in many different ways and it’s now our turn to return the favour in his time of need.

How Can You Make a Difference?

1) Donate: Every contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful impact on Patrick's journey.

2) Spread the word like wildfire. Share this page on your social media, emails, Messenger etc

Let's show Patrick that his community stands by him, just as he has stood by us through the music, laughter, and good times. Your donation will go directly to Patrick, helping him make the most of the time he has left with his partner Julieta, children and grandchildren.

With heartfelt gratitude

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.
